Bernardine Scholarship

Alvernia University offers the Bernardine Scholarship to assist transfer students who are enrolling in undergraduate studies. To qualify for this merit-based program, applicants must have achieved a cumulative GPA between 3.25 and 3.49 across all of their previous higher education institutions. The award provides $21,000 to help cover educational expenses. Recipients can renew the scholarship for subsequent years of study, provided they maintain full-time enrollment of at least 12 credits per semester and keep a minimum grade point average of 2.5 or higher. While this merit award is determined by academic performance, students are generally encouraged to complete the FAFSA or relevant state financial aid applications to establish eligibility for other federal, state, or institutional need-based aid. See the official page for current dates and deadlines.
