    About this scholarship

    This merit-based program supports incoming first-time freshmen who have achieved the highest academic ranks in their high school graduating classes. Eligible candidates must have achieved a high unweighted grade point average and secured a top-two ranking in their class, verified by an administrator. Recipients are required to enroll in full-time undergraduate study, submit the federal student aid application, and reside in on-campus housing during their entire enrollment. The funding helps cover educational costs after other federal and state resources are applied, provided the student maintains a solid academic record throughout their semesters at the university.

    • GPA of 3.90 or higher

    How we check listings

    Every listing links to the provider's official page. Before it goes live, its amount and dates must appear on that page, the link must work and it must pass our scam checks; anything that fails a check waits for an editor. We re-check links every week. Listings not re-verified within six months leave our search until they are.
