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.
