## About this scholarship

The Commitment to Access Program at Allegheny College is designed to cover the full cost of tuition for qualifying students from Pennsylvania and Ohio. This renewable funding opportunity is open to incoming first-year and transfer students who are pursuing their very first bachelor's degree. To qualify, a student's family income must be $75,000 or less per year. 

To determine eligibility, applicants must submit the FAFSA, which is used alongside federal, state, and institutional awards to meet the tuition costs. For students who are unable to file a FAFSA but graduated from a high school in Pennsylvania or Ohio, Allegheny College allows the use of the Federal Student Aid Estimator to apply instead. The deadline to submit both the admission application and the FAFSA is May 1. To renew the award for subsequent years, returning students must submit the FAFSA by the May 1 deadline annually to verify that they still meet the income requirements.
