Enhanced Academic Scholarships for 2010-2011
We are pleased to announce new scholarship amounts, criteria, and two entirely new scholarship levels for students entering for the 2010-2011 academic year. First-year and transfer students alike will benefit from this overhaul of our scholarship program, making North Park University even more affordable than it already was.
Enhancements appear in bold type below.
Academic scholarships are merit awards given by North Park University based on your past academic performance. If you are an incoming first-year student, we will evaluate your test scores and high-school class rank. If you are transferring from another university, we will look at your transferable GPA. For these scholarships, there is no additional application required. You will be notified by the Office of Admission if you qualify for one of these awards.
