Allegheny Referral Scholarship

The Allegheny Referral Scholarship is designed for prospective students who are referred to Allegheny College by an eligible member of the college community. To qualify, a candidate must be referred by an Allegheny College alum, current student, faculty, staff member, parent, or trustee. The program provides $1,000 per year, totaling $4,000 over four years, and is renewable.

To receive the award, high school seniors must apply for admission and submit their referral form by December 1. For transfer students, the application and referral deadlines are December 1 for spring admission and April 1 for fall admission. Students must also be admitted to the college and submit their enrollment deposits by the specified deadlines.

While this scholarship is based on a personal referral and admission timeline, applicants are encouraged to complete the FAFSA to be considered for additional federal, state, and institutional financial aid. Only one referral scholarship is awarded per student, regardless of how many people refer them.
