Description
Students are considered for scholarships based on holistic measures. The chart is meant to serve as a helpful guide rather than a rigid rubric in terms of the types of attributes the institution looks for in candidates for scholarship consideration. These are 'and/or' statements meaning that a student may qualify for a certain category based on some but not all of the listed general descriptions. Those most likely to receive consideration for the top awards should exhibit multiple characteristics of the award category (e.g. GPA plus test scores) rather than just one (e.g. GPA).
