Scholarships
It is through the generosity of Alumni, friends, and supporters of Faulkner University that scholarships are possible.
Awards are based upon varied criteria and do not require monetary repayment. Academic excellence, financial need, and major of study are just a few of the criteria used for selecting recipients.
Most scholarships are awarded and administered by the Traditional Admissions Department. You may also contact your academic college or department for information on scholarships that are administered by them. Occasionally, the Financial Aid Office receives information on scholarships from outside agencies. When we receive such information, a campus-wide email is sent with the details and qualifications.
To qualify for a scholarship, award or grant, a student must be in the traditional program and classified as a traditional student. Adults who are classified as traditional students are not eligible for the scholarships, awards, or grants herein described.
All supplemental materials (essays, letters of recommendation, etc.) should be submitted when making application for scholarships.
Full-time enrollment (at least 12 semester hours) is required for any scholarship.
Scholarships and awards may not be stacked over $2000 (on-campus students) or $1500 (off campus students) unless otherwise noted.
Students receiving a scholarship or award from Faulkner University whose financial aid packages exceed the direct cost of education (tuition, fees, room and board) will not receive a credit or a refund. In these cases, the amount of the scholarship or award from Faulkner will be adjusted to preclude the awarding of a credit or refund.
Athletic awards may not be combined with academic awards.
Unless otherwise noted, shcolarship and award amounts are for one academic year.
One half of the total amount will be awarded in the fall term, and the other half wil be awarded in the spring semester.
Unless otherwise noted, all scholarships are renewable upon meeting the continuation criteria for up to nine (9) semesters.
All students receiving scholarships or awards are required to apply for all federal and state aid available.
