Undergraduate Scholarships & Grants

Awards are calculated at five levels based on your high school GPA only. For more information regarding admissions, visit our undergraduate admissions requirements.

The Valor Scholars Program is a premier academic award for freshmen applicants. When selected as a Valor Scholar, the award will replace your freshmen academic scholarship received at admission. Only talent awards, need-based EU grants and/or church matching awards will stack with VSP. We will select individuals to interview based on the strength of their admissions application and required ACT/SAT and HS GPA.  No other application is required.  We will begin inviting eligible applicants in mid-September.
