SCHOLARSHIPS
Trustees and Leadership Academic Scholarships
The Trustees Scholarships are designed to recognize high
school and junior college students who have excelled in academic and/or
leadership accomplishments. These scholarships are awarded to students in their
senior year of high school or in their sophomore year of junior college.
The Trustees Scholarships are usually four-year scholarships
for high school students and two-year scholarships for junior college students,
and they usually range in value from $4,000 to $12,000. The awards are made in
three categories-academic, leadership, and junior college. The GPA for
scholarship recipients is checked at the end of each Spring Semester to
determine if their scholarships can be renewed for the following year. In the
event that the recipient's scholarship is lost due to a low GPA - the
scholarship can be reinstated when a student has raised his/her GPA to the
required average. These scholarships do require on-campus residency; two years
for freshman and one year for transfers.
