Affiliation Scholarships

Full-time traditional students or admitted undergraduate students in the Adult Degree Programs being charged the full-time tuition rate may receive one of the following scholarships. Those receiving a merit scholarship receive an additional $1,000 for one of the affiliation scholarships. Affiliation scholarships are not based on financial need and, therefore, require no financial aid application. Students with previously earned bachelor’s degrees are not eligible for affiliation scholarships. Recipients are welcome, however, to apply for additional forms of assistance.

Note: Students who are eligible for more than one of these scholarships may receive only one of the scholarships listed in this section.
