Scholarships Available:

The Centennial, Presidential, and Dean’s scholarships are awarded to incoming freshmen each year based upon ACT or SAT Scores. Composite scores for scholarship consideration are taken only from a single test date; tests must be taken on one of the published national test dates set by The College Board. Students who take the ACT residual test on campus are NOT eligible for academic scholarship consideration. Each student must maintain a full-time class load of 12-17 semester hours each semester. Academic scholarships do NOT cover the cost of summer camps or Summer Honors.  SAT composite scores taken in April 1995 or later require the reentered composite score for scholarships. Students older than traditional high school graduates are eligible for academic scholarships if they are first-time college attendees.

Centennial Scholarship
The Centennial Scholarship is awarded to any student who has graduated from an approved high school and who scores 31-36 on the ACT or 1400-1600 combined score on the critical reading and math sections on the SAT. Those students who qualify must carry more than eleven credit hours per semester and maintain a 3.0 cumulative grade point average or higher in order to continue receiving the award. The scholarship is distributed in two phases. In the first phase, all Centennial Scholars receive an amount equal to standard tuition. This phase lasts for the recipient’s freshman year. The second phase is in effect from the recipient’s sophomore year until he or she graduates. In the second phase, Centennial Scholars are separated into two categories, Centennial Gold and Centennial Silver. Those Centennial Scholars with a cumulative grade point average of 3.0 to 3.69 will be designated as Centennial Silver. Those with a cumulative grade point average of 3.7 and above will be designated as Centennial Gold. A Centennial Silver Scholar receives a half tuition scholarship for each semester that he or she qualifies. A Centennial Gold Scholar receives a full tuition scholarship for each qualifying semester. If at any time the student should lose the scholarship for falling below the 3.0 or the 3.7 cumulative grade point requirement, it can be reinstated at either level once the GPA is equal to or above the original level. This scholarship can be used in any semester including the summer, but not after graduation. The Centennial Gold Scholarship is awarded in place of, not in addition to, the Honor Scholarship. If a student enrolls in another college/university as his or her primary choice in his or her projected beginning date, this student will forfeit his or her eligibility for the Centennial Scholarship. This scholarship is awarded by the Office of Admissions.

Presidential Scholarship
The Presidential Scholarship is awarded to any student who has graduated from an approved high school and who scores 27-30 on the ACT or 1230-1390 combined score on the critical reading and math sections on the SAT. This scholarship is equal to standard tuition for the freshman year. The scholarship must be used in the academic year immediately following graduation. Students who enroll in another college/university as their primary choice in their projected beginning date forfeit eligibility. Presidential scholarships are awarded by the Admissions Office.

Dean's Scholarship
The Dean's Scholarship is awarded to any student who has graduated from an approved high school and who scores 24-26 on the ACT or 1120-1220 combined score on the critical reading and math sections on the SAT. This scholarship is equal to one-half standard tuition for the freshman year. The scholarship must be used in the academic year immediately following graduation. Students who enroll in another college/university as their primary choice in their projected beginning date forfeit eligibility. Dean’s scholarships are awarded by the Admissions Office.
