The majority of our Foundation Scholarships are applied for when you fill out a general scholarship application each academic year. If you are a new student, this application will be placed in your admissions portal upon admission. If you are a current student, an announcement will be sent out each fall with the current student scholarship application. If any additional scholarships become available that require a separate application, we will send out an email and post the information here.
If you have any questions about the scholarships, applications, or requirements, please contact the Scholarship Office. Please do not contact the donors directly, as IRS regulations and federal law prevent
them from being involved in the selection of scholarship recipients.
