Financial Aid Award Funding

Funding for institutional scholarships, grants-in-aid, and work-study comes, in part, from private donations and endowment earnings, often with donor stipulation as to qualifications. Students need not apply for specific scholarships or grants. To be considered for an award, a student must complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) available at www.fafsa.ed.gov.

Academic scholarships and grants are awarded if students meet the academic criteria of the scholarship or grant and maintain a minimum grade point average as specified by the award. If financial need is demonstrated in addition to the academic award, the scholarship will become part of the overall need-based award. Scholarships and grants are available to students who demonstrate academic achievement, financial need, leadership potential, live in a specific geographic area, are ��non-traditional'' students, are pursuing a specific academic major, or participate in the work-study program.

A complete list of scholarships and grants can be obtained from the Schreiner University Financial Aid Office.
