All students in the Scholars Academy receive a scholarship funded through one of several different federal/private grants. Most scholarships require U.S. citizenship or permanent residency; however, internationals are still invited to apply. Although the overarching goals are the same, the scholarships vary with respect to which majors the recipient may declare, classification, financial need, and other criteria.
Scholarships are renewable each semester for 4 years for Scholars meeting all renewal requirements.
