    • Scholarship eligibility is determined during application and admission to Andrew College.
    • Students may only receive one scholarship from each category (i.e.1 Category A + 1 Category B + 1 Category C).
    • Most institutional scholarships are renewable for up to four years when a student meets the renewal requirements outlined for the specific award.
    • Must complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA).
    • Must apply for every entitlement grant for which they may qualify in order to receive an institutional scholarship.
    • All institutional, federal, and state awards will be applied to a student’s tuition, fees and room and board.
