Scholarships

All new incoming first year students who are admitted to the University will automatically be considered for a Presidential Scholarship. These scholarships, awarded through the Office of Admissions, are merit based and will not require an additional application. Consideration is based on the student's academic record, and/or standardized test scores. Presidential scholarships are renewable for up to four years pending SCSU GPA and course completion. Expect to receive a scholarship of $2,500, $1,500, $750, or $500 if you:

• Have a score of at least 24 on the ACT or,
• Have at least a 2.6 cumulative high school GPA or above on a 4.0 scale
