Institutional Scholarships
Presentation College’s institutional scholarships include:
Merit Scholarships
Athletic Scholarships
Catholic High School Scholarships
Scholar Dollars
Generally, institutional scholarship recipients must be enrolled full-time (12 credits or more at Presentation College) in an eligible program during each semester of receipt to qualify. Institutional scholarships are only available during the fall and spring semesters and are not offered during the summer semester.
Merit Scholarships
Merit scholarships are available for up to eight semesters of enrollment for the baccalaureate degree, up to four semesters for the associate degree, and up to two semesters for the certificate. Students’ eligibility for institutional scholarships is reduced to the number of semesters required for graduation when they have earned transfer credits that are applicable to their programs. When extenuating circumstances prevent students from completing their certificate or degree in the expected number of semesters of enrollment they may appeal for up to two additional semesters of eligibility (one semester for the certificate or associate degree). Students may submit an appeal letter and their documentation of extenuating circumstances to the Scholarship Committee. Students are awarded merit based upon residential or commuter status.
Athletic Scholarships
NAIA conference membership allows Presentation College to offer athletic scholarships. Students should contact the Athletic Department for more information.
Students may be eligible to receive pro-rated athletic scholarships when they enroll part-time during their final semester of enrollment prior to graduation.
Catholic High School Scholarship
Students who are enrolling at the College for the first time may be eligible for a Catholic High School Scholarship. Students who meet the eligibility criteria should notify a counselor in either the Admissions Office or the FAO.
In order to receive this scholarship, students must:
- be a first time freshman. Transfer students do not qualify for this scholarship; and
- have a high school grade point average (GPA) of 3.0 or higher on their official transcripts; and
- enroll full-time in the Fall semester after high school graduation, which is defined as a minimum of 12 credits per semester; and
- live on campus in the residence halls.
Eligible students may receive up to $4,000 for the academic year (up to $2,000 for the fall semester and up to $2,000 for the spring semester). Continuing eligibility for this scholarship requires students to be full-time, maintain a 3.0 cumulative grade point average, and live on campus in the residence halls.
PC Scholar Dollars
Students are eligible to receive up to $500 per semester match for competitive scholarships the student is awarded from organizations other than Presentation College. The maximum amount of Scholar Dollars that a student can receive per academic year is $1,000. Funds from federal and state agencies are not included in the Scholar Dollars matching program. This scholarship is automatically awarded once scholarship funds are received at the College; the scholarship must be made payable to Presentation College on the student’s behalf and delivered directly to the Advancement Office. Scholarships that are awarded or administered by Presentation College do not qualify for the Scholar Dollars matching program.
Thank You Notes
A portion of the institution’s merit and athletic scholarships are made available through the generosity of donors to the College. If the funds to support the student’s scholarship were provided by a donor the student is required to write a thank you letter and to attend a scholarship event. The Advancement Office will contact students who are required to write a thank you letter and to attend a scholarship event.
Presentation College Sibling and Family Discount
A family discount will be awarded when two, three, or four members of the student’s immediate family attend Presentation College simultaneously. A 10% tuition discount will be awarded to the first and second family members. A 5% tuition discount will be awarded to the third and fourth family members. First-time students must notify a financial aid or admissions representative if another member of their immediate family will be attending the College during the same semesters that they are enrolling. Students are required to confirm the enrollment of the family member(s) for each subsequent semester with the business office. The College may require documentation of the familial relationship.
