Freshman Scholarships - Scholarships designated for "new freshmen" pertain to students who have not attended any college/post-secondary institution after high school graduation. High school grade point averages are recalculated in academic core courses and computed on a 4.0 scale. Grades from courses designated as "honors" or "Advanced Placement" or "IB" on the transcript are weighted one grade level higher in the recalculation. Scholarships listed here are for eligible U.S. citizens/permanent residents only.
Transfer Awards - Scholarships listed here are for eligible U.S. citizens/permanent residents only.
Talent Recognition Awards are available in art and design, music and theatre. Please contact those departments directly to arrange auditions or submit portfolios and to obtain more detailed information.
