Institutional Scholarships

Presentation College's institutional scholarships include but are not limited to:

• Merit Scholarships
• Athletic Scholarships
• Catholic High School Scholarships
• Scholar Dollars
• Nano Nagle Nursing
• Nursing and Native American Scholarships 
• PC Gold (need-based)

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 typically based on ACT/SAT scores as well as high school GPA for incoming freshmen and those who earned less than 24 credits. For students who earned more than 24 credits, merit will be based on the cumulative transfer GPA from the final transcript from the most recent institution attended. Merit scholarships are available for up to eight semesters of enrollment for the baccalaureate degree and up to four semesters for the associate degree. 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 bachelor's degree in the expected number of semesters of enrollment, they may appeal for up to two additional semesters of eligibility (one semester for the associate degree). Students may submit an appeal letter and their documentation of extenuating circumstances to the Scholarship Committee.

Athletic Scholarships

NAIA conference membership allows Presentation College to offer athletic scholarships. Students should contact the Athletic program 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 or are first-time transfer students who were continuously enrolled at only one other collegiate institution 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 Financial Aid Office.

In order to receive this scholarship, students must:

1. be a Catholic high school graduate
2. have a grade point average (GPA) of 2.0 or higher on their official high school transcripts or the last institution attended based off the criteria used for admittance into PC
3. enroll full-time in the Fall semester, which is defined as a minimum of 12 credits per semester; and
4. live on campus in the residence halls.
5. Meet Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) requirements

Students will be eligible for $2,000 for the academic year.  Continuing eligibility for this scholarship requires students to be full-time, maintain SAP, 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 Student Accounts office. Scholarships that are awarded or administered by Presentation College do not qualify for the Scholar Dollars matching program.

Nano Nagle Nursing

The Nano Nagle Nursing Scholarship is for students in the undergraduate Nursing program. Students must be enrolled full time (minimum 12 credits) and can be either PCV or Aberdeen students. The award amount is $2,000 per year whether the student lives on or off campus. Students must meet SAP (satisfactory academic progress) requirements and remain enrolled in the Nursing program to continue receiving the scholarship each year.

Nursing and Native American Scholarships

Scholarships are available for Nursing and Native American students. These scholarships are renewable annually as long as the students meet SAP requirements and are progressing towards their degree. Additionally, Nursing scholarship recipients must maintain enrollment in the Nursing program.

PC Gold

PC Gold is a need-based award for full-time (12+ credits) non-athlete students. Award amounts vary per student. Students should contact their Admissions representative or the FAO for more information.

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.
