Common Questions About Scholarships

Most scholarships are for new students and returning graduates (unless otherwise noted). Eligible students must complete the scholarship application 90 days before and up to 30 days after the program start date. Current students may apply for funding they are eligible for at any time after their first term is completed. ºÚÁÏ´«ËÍÃÅ employees and family members who are eligible for the ºÚÁÏ´«ËÍÃÅ employee discount are not eligible for ºÚÁÏ´«ËÍÃÅ scholarships.

An eligible student can receive one ºÚÁÏ´«ËÍÃÅ scholarship award per degree. In the event that a student qualifies for multiple ºÚÁÏ´«ËÍÃÅ scholarships, the scholarship committee will consider each opportunity and will then select which one to award (if any).

It depends on the specific criteria for the scholarship fund. In general, we award scholarships based on the following factors:

  • Meeting the basic eligibility requirements
  • The quality of your scholarship application responses
  • Financial need is also a strong consideration for most of our scholarship funds

Some scholarships are also based upon evaluations of prior college transcripts and other academic history. We encourage you to apply.

ºÚÁÏ´«ËÍÃÅ evaluates scholarship applications on a continual basis because we start new students in their programs every month.

No. New and returning student scholarship awards are divided into a set amount per term. This amount is credited against your tuition due for each term. The details are explained in the description for each scholarship.

Yes, you should also apply for federal financial aid by filling out a FAFSA. Most scholarships at ºÚÁÏ´«ËÍÃÅ require a FAFSA on file unless you are not eligible to apply for federal aid. If awarded a scholarship, that amount will likely only cover a portion of your school expenses, and financial aid can help pay for the rest. You can apply for financial aid while you are waiting for a decision about your scholarship application. Here is the full information on financial aid.

ºÚÁÏ´«ËÍÃÅ is partnering with Scholarship Universe (SU), a third-party scholarship aggregator, to help you identify and apply for scholarships based on information included in your SU profile.
