Academic Excellence Scholarship Program
The Academic Excellence Scholarship Program is the flagship program of the University. All decisions are made through the Office of Undergraduate Education. All freshmen admitted to the University for the fall semester are automatically considered for an Academic Excellence Scholarship award. Important factors in the selection of scholarship recipients include SAT or ACT scores, class rank, grade point average, and success in Honors or Advanced Placement course work. In addition, positive weight may be given to the following factors: achievement in work experience, community service, extracurricular activities (leadership), surmounting obstacles to the further pursuit of higher education, socioeconomic background, and status as a first generation college student. Notification of awards are made on a monthly basis until all the available scholarships have been allocated. Further application materials are necessary only in the case of the Clark Summer Scholars Program.
