College Policy Concerning Merit or Non-Need-Based Awards
If you accept a merit scholarship or other non-need-based award you are ineligible for all other non-need-based programs the College offers unless your demonstrated financial need exceeds the non-need-based award.
We encourage you to apply for all resources that you can.
All scholarships and other non-need-based awards will be renewable annually provided you maintain the grade point average designated by each program.
All merit and non-need-based awards will be offered for a maximum of four years.
Your scholarship/grant will be incorporated into your total need-based financial aid package, not offered in addition to it.
