Donor Scholarships
These scholarships are donor supported scholarships. Students must apply individually for these scholarships to be considered for the award. Each scholarship has specific qualifications which are listed below. Please refer to the criteria and only apply for scholarships that you are eligible for.
All of the scholarships require you to be a full-time student and to submit a 2010-2011 FAFSA. The FAFSA is now available online. International students are not required to submit a FAFSA, but may still apply for a donor scholarship providing the other eligibility requirements are met. Should you be awarded a donor scholarship, the funds may replace all or a portion of other institutional aid you have received.
All applications will be available in January 2011. The deadline has passed to apply for the 2010-2011 academic year.
