The Cardinal Elite Scholarship is available to first-time college freshmen with a minimum high school GPA of 4.25 and who are in the top 10 percent of their graduating class. Applicants must submit a qualifying SAT and ACT score for consideration. The Cardinal Elite Scholars award will give students $40,000 over four years. $8,000 per year ($4,000 per semester) will be applied toward tuition, and $2,000 per year ($1,000 per semester) will be applied toward on-campus residence hall. If a student chooses not to live in the residence hall at any point in time, their room scholarship will be forfeited for the remainder of their scholarship.
