Merit-Based Financial Aid


FacesExt20

Grove City College awards several merit-based scholarships to outstanding, academically gifted students each year.

Scholarships for Incoming Freshmen 

Trustee Scholarship Program

The College awards 24 Trustee Academic Scholarships each year to our highest performing students. The top eight recipients are designated as Trustee Fellows and are awarded the College’s most generous merit-based scholarship – a full-ride award which covers standard tuition and food and housing. The remaining 16 recipients are designated as Trustee Scholars and receive an award of half tuition. Both scholarships are renewable for up to four years, provided the cumulative QPA (CQPA) requirement of 3.40 is maintained.

Presidential Scholarship 

Incoming freshmen who are ranked first (in a minimum class of 30) or second in their class (in a minimum class of 100) as determined by submission of their final accredited high school transcript automatically qualify for this one-year $1,000 scholarship. No application is required.

National Merit Scholarship 

Incoming freshmen who are National Merit Finalists or CLT10 National Award Recipients automatically qualify for this one-year $2,000 scholarship. No application is required, but please remember to send a copy of your certificate if you qualify. 

Alumni Merit Reward Scholarship 

The Alumni Merit Reward Scholarship is a one-year scholarship that rewards students for productive high school careers. This competitive scholarship is available to high-achieving incoming freshmen based on available funds. 

Engineering Scholarships 

Freshman engineering* applicants who show academic promise and outstanding leadership qualities are considered for up to four $2,500 scholarships.

*These renewable scholarships are open to any freshmen applicants pursuing the following majors at Grove City College: Applied Science & Engineering, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, and Mechanical Engineering.

For consideration, submit an Engineering Scholarship Referral Form and at least one letter of recommendation to the Financial Aid Office by March 15. Three of the four scholarship openings require the recipient to demonstrate financial need. To be considered for the need-based Engineering Scholarships, the CSS Profile. must also be submitted by March 15. Please note: This deadline is one month before the normal financial aid application deadline.

Applicants who have applied for admission via the Regular Decision process should not wait for their acceptance packet to apply for this scholarship. Notification of finalists and semi-finalists will be mailed around April 1. The scholarship is renewable for an additional three years if the recipient maintains a cumulative QPA (CQPA) of 3.00 or higher as an engineering major. Students must be U.S. citizens or permanent residents. 

Leadership Scholarship 

Freshman applicants who show academic promise and outstanding leadership qualities in the area of community service are considered for up to five $2,500 scholarships. Eligible students will be contacted to apply. Notification of finalists and semi-finalists will be mailed around April 1. The scholarship is renewable for an additional three years if the recipient maintains a cumulative QPA (CQPA) of 3.00 or higher.

Schwab Scholarship

This competitive scholarship is available to one student who is a member in good standing of their local church and who memorized and recited (perfectly or near perfectly) the original Westminster Shorter Catechism of 1648 as verified by a signed letter from their ordained pastor, priest, or Grove City College's dean of the chapel. The letter must be received by the Office of Financial Aid by April 15 for the student to be considered for the scholarship. This one-year scholarship will be awarded to the applicant with the highest need, based on available funds.
