Scholarship Programs
The University offers a number of endowed scholarships, which have been made possible through the generosity of its many friends. All enrolled students receive consideration for these awards, and there is no student-initiated application process. The Financial Aid Office will identify a pool of candidates for each scholarship, except where stipulated by the donor, and will select the candidate who most closely matches the donor-established criteria. Scholarship recipients will be notified via a financial aid award letter. All recipients must complete an application, including the essay portion.
