University Scholar Athlete Award

This renewable funding opportunity is designed specifically for incoming freshman student athletes who demonstrate strong academic performance alongside their athletic commitments. The program serves as an alternative funding source when other primary scholarly awards have exhausted their budgets. Eligibility is determined by high school academic performance, and standardized test scores are not required for consideration. The award amount is structured in tiers based on the student's cumulative high school grade point average. Because this program is mutually exclusive with certain other major institutional scholarships, it helps support student athletes who might otherwise miss out on primary academic funding.
