Academic Scholarships
Available for undergraduate students only. We do not have scholarships for graduate students.
The International Presidential Scholarship
The International Presidential Scholarship is awarded to students who are entering Ashland
University as first-year students (freshmen). The amount of the
scholarship is determined by the grade point average of the last four
years of education. The amount of the scholarship can be enhanced
if the student submits official results of the Scholastic Aptitude Test
(SAT). Effective for Fall 2008 and beyond, the scholarship is determined
by the following formula:
| International Presidential Scholarship | ||
| High School GPA | SAT | Score...Award |
|
3.25 - 3.49 = 2 points |
980 - 1050 = 1 point |
2 points...$6,000/year |
|
3.50 - 3.74 = 3 points |
1060 - 1150 = 2 points |
3 points...$7,000/year |
|
3.75 - 4.00 = 4 points |
1160 - 1260 = 3 points |
4 points...$8,000/year |
| ** |
1270 - 1600 = 4 points |
5 points...$9,000/year |
| ** | ** | 6 points...$10,000/year |
With this award, a student needs a minimum of two points to earn a $4, 000/year award. The maximum amount is $8, 000/year. The scholarship can be granted for a maximum of five years. A student needs to maintain a 3.0 GPA at Ashland University at the end of each academic year for the award to be renewed for the following year.
The International Director's Scholarship
The International Director's Scholarship is based on the student's grade point average of the last four years of education. It is awarded according to the following schedule:
