The Endowed / Privately Funded Scholarships are open to qualified sophomores, juniors, and seniors. Members of the senior class are given priority in the evaluation process. Students are evaluated on academic performance, co-curricular activities, awards and honors, and other criteria as specified by the donor or the sponsor of the fund. Recipients are typically notified by the fall semester. The receipt of a privately funded or endowed scholarship may result in an adjustment in the student's current financial aid package. All scholarship awards must be considered an additional resource in meeting a student's demonstrated financial need.
