International Merit Scholarship (JCC)

For all admitted freshmen. Merit scholarships are renewable for 4 years or 8 semesters so long as students successfully earn 24 institutional credit hours per academic year and maintain the institutional GPA as listed in their scholarship contract. Students must be enrolled in at least 12 hours (full-time) each semester to receive their scholarship award. Upon graduation from an undergraduate program, any remaining semesters of merit scholarship aid may be used for graduate tuition as long as the student enrolls in a graduate program within one year of the student's graduation date. Students must notify the Financial Aid Office of their intent to use their scholarship funds for a graduate program. All merit scholarship eligibility criteria will still apply (full-time status, GPA, etc.). Please note, scholarships will be awarded in Fall and Spring semesters only.
