Adrian College Scholarship and Grant Policy
Adrian College Scholarships/Grants are earmarked for full-time, degree-seeking study for up to eight semesters of undergraduate course enrollment. Students may not receive institutional scholarships/grants that are in excess of tuition and fees. Outside scholarships may affect Institutional or State grants and scholarships. Veteran Affairs Benefits, Post 9/11 GI Bill (Chapter 33), and ROTC Full-tuition scholarships are included and will reduce the scholarship/grant eligibility of the student dollar for dollar. Please note that the qualifying for Adrian College Scholarships may reduce previously awarded Adrian College Grants. GI Bill® is a registered trademark of the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA). More information about education benefits offered by VA is available at the official U.S. government Web site at https://www.benefits.va.gov/gibill.
Adrian College Scholarships
Undergraduate students who are full-time, degree seeking and enter into college with the required SAT and GPA will be reviewed for Adrian College scholarship assistance up to 8 consecutive semesters of on-campus study. Students who receive a merit-based Adrian College Scholarship will need to maintain their full-time status (12 undergraduate credits or above) and maintain good standing to remain eligible. Failure to maintain either criterion could result in loss of the scholarship.
Additional Adrian Scholarships
Additional Adrian scholarships are available for incoming students who attend a Scholarship Day, are children or grandchildren of Adrian College alumni (Legacy Scholarship) or active members of the United Methodist Church.
Adrian College Grants
Students who file the FAFSA will be considered for both needs based and non-need-based grants. These awards may be renewable for up to four consecutive years. Renewal is contingent upon the student’s annual submission of the FAFSA, maintaining satisfactory progress and full-time undergraduate enrollment. Renewal may also be contingent upon the student’s residency status (on or off campus) and funding levels. The Adrian College Grant will be reduced if necessary to maintain Federal, State, and College budgets. Any other financial aid award that exceeds $99 and is not a part of the original financial aid award, whether it be an Adrian College or outside scholarship, Federal/State grant or scholarship money, Federal loan, or tuition waiver, can reduce Adrian College Grants.
Endowment and Contributed Scholarships
Through generous gifts from family, friends and alumni of Adrian College, various scholarship programs have been established. If a specific donor provides a student scholarship, the student may be notified by the Development Office and requested to write a thank you note and/or meet the donor.
