Scholarships & Grants
merit-based financial assistance
Eureka College provides merit-based financial
assistance. These forms of financial assistance are all in addition to the extensive system of state and federal financial aid programs.
Over 90% of our students receive financial assistance. All merit scholarships
are renewable provided the recipient maintains the appropriate grade point average
as stated in the College's "Statement of Satisfactory Progress".
Completion of the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) determines
eligibility for need-based grants and scholarships. Please click the FAFSA link to begin.
*Note: Receiving "outside" scholarships does not cause a reduction in institutional aid.
