- No separate application: you are considered when you apply for admission
- Who can apply
- First-time freshmen enrolling summer or fall; U.S. citizens or permanent residents. Weighted GPA is accepted when supplied on the official transcript. No superscores. GED and HiSet graduates are ineligible because they do not supply a high-school GPA.
- Good to know
- Awards depend on funding and cannot stack with previously awarded guaranteed scholarships. The page describes limited reconsideration for a higher December test score when an official qualifying score was already on file and the student admitted by December 1. Awards last up to eight semesters; maintain full-time fall/spring enrollment throughout each semester in courses applicable to the program and at least 3.0 cumulative GPA. Renewal is checked after every fall and spring.
