Scholarships
Scholarships can be applied for and awarded for a variety of reasons. Some scholarships recognize merit-based factors such as academic achievement, service and talent. Scholarships do not need to be repaid.
For incoming students
All outstanding freshman applicants are automatically considered for university-level scholarships if they apply for the fall semester by Nov. 1 — no separate application needed. A limited number of scholarships are also awarded to transfer applicants from the Virginia Community College System who have earned a minimum of 45 semester credit hours.
