Scholarship FAQ
Who is eligible?
Any prospective or current student.
When is the deadline?
February 1st
How do I apply?
Simply follow the instructions on the scholarship criteria page and complete the application.
How are applicants selected?
A committee of administrators, faculty and staff reviews each applicant based on overall GPA, essay style and content, level of extra-curricular or community service, and letters of recommendation. All components receive points from each member of the committee. These are added together to give each candidate an overall score, which is then utilized for scholarship selection.
For the Moreau and Presidential scholarships, an interview process is also conducted with the top five candidates and weighs heavily in the selection of the recipients.
