Academic scholarships are awarded based on academic achievement (GPA, rank in class and ACT/SAT scores),
participation in extracurricular activities and leadership. Scholarships also are available through a few academic departments.
Leadership scholarships are awarded based on demonstrated leadership activities in high school and leadership potential.
Applications may be obtained from a high school counselor or they can be printed from our website. To receive full
consideration by the scholarship committee, applications must be received by JANUARY 15.
