How It Works
The university will invite all first-year applicants who meet the GPA requirement to participate in the Scholarship Competition by attending one of the Scholarship Competition Days.
Scholarship Competition Days for the 2024-2025 cycle will be held November 23, 2024 and February 17, 2025 from 11 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. on campus. Registration information will be communicated separately to all qualifying applicants.
The competition consists of two components: an essay competition and group discussion with faculty and staff. Finalists will be announced after each event, and the winners will be announced at the end of February, following the second scholarship competition date.
All competitors receiving a scholarship will be named Saint Francis Scholars, signifying academic commitment and excellence.
