College Scholarships

What are the College Scholarships?

College scholarships are primarily need-based awards that do not need to be repaid. 

Eligibility is based on information students provide on their CSS Profile application as first-year students, and information on the FAFSA form as continuing students. Additionally, the college awards a select number of merit-based scholarships, primarily in the third and fourth years, as well as our RED Scholarship, which covers full tuition for those years. 

Eligibility

To be considered for need-based institutional financial aid, all students under age 30 or unmarried must submit financial information, including parental data. 

Complete parental data is collected on the CSS Profile form, an online application used to award non-federal institutional aid.

  1. If both parents are together, you need to provide information for both parents.
  2. If parents are divorced, separated, or no longer together, you only need to provide parental data for one parent. However, if a parent is remarried, we need their household information and taxes, including the new spouse.

If you are married, you need to provide information for your spouse. You can enter zeros for the parental information section.

Special circumstances

If you have special circumstances, enter this information in the special circumstances section of the CSS Profile.
