Scholarships
Scholarships awards cover a portion of a student’s
expenses. Scholarships are of two types – those
administered solely by the College, including the
selection of recipients, and those administered by
the College at the request of donors who select the
recipients themselves. The College’s scholarship
program is financed solely by public donations.
Some scholarships are based on a student’s financial
need while others are based on academic excellence.
Scholarship applications from high school students
are due on April 1st. The deadline for other students
is June 15th. Students are encouraged to apply
before the application deadline. For more
information or to apply, contact an admissions
advisor.
Half of the scholarship normally is disbursed for the
Fall Semester, and the remaining half for the Spring
Semester, unless otherwise stated.
The College awards approximately 300 scholarships
annually. Among these are scholarships mad e

organizations.
