Scholarships, Awards, Grants: The scholarship program at Asbury University has been established to recognize outstanding academic achievement, leadership ability, excellence of performance and/or financial need. Recipients are selected on the basis of academic performance as shown by grade point average, test scores, and other criteria. Scholarships are awarded on an annual basis and are awarded only to those students pursuing their first bachelor’s degree on a full-time basis (minimum 12 hours per semester). Awards shall cover the traditional terms, fall and spring, only. Complete procedures for applying for scholarships may be obtained from the Financial Aid Office or the Admissions Office. Transfer students are entitled to receive a scholarship for the normal timeframe expected to complete the degree requirements, not to exceed four years or eight semesters. In order to receive scholarships, students must be enrolled at and complete their financial aid through Asbury University. Students enrolled in the 3-2 Engineering program with the University of Kentucky are not eligible to receive Asbury University scholarships once they have enrolled at and are handling financial aid through the University of Kentucky.

All scholarships that require a separate application have a deadline of February 1 (unless otherwise indicated) of the year you plan to enroll at Asbury, and will be awarded by early March.
