Applying for Grants & Scholarships

Institutional Grants & Scholarships are available to eligible students.

Note: International students can go straight to step 2 since the FAFSA is a federal application (financial need status will be determined through other aspects of the application process).

How do I apply?

  1. Complete a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA)

  2. Complete a Scholarship Application:

    1. Masters-level U.S. Citizens and Residents

    2. Masters-level International Students

    3. Doctor of Ministry Students

  3. Respond to your award offers through the Award Letter when it is emailed to you

  4. Write a Thank You Letter for each accepted scholarship, grant & discount

Deadlines

Priority is given to applications fully completed (including the FAFSA and having an 'accepted' status into a degree program) by the end of the business day (5:00pm MST) of April 1st for fall-starts, or November 1st for spring-starts (or the following business day if one of these days fall on a weekend). 

Applications submitted after the priority deadline will be reviewed by the Scholarship Committee the following applicable month (e.g. a fall-start application submitted before May 1st will be reviewed in May).  Results are always communicated via email ASAP and by the end of the applicable month at the very latest (e.g. an applicant that submitted a complete application by April 1st will be notified of results by April 30th).
