Scholarship Infomation
The Bethune-Cookman University scholarships recognize academic excellence. Their major purpose is to encourage outstanding students and assist them along the path to leadership and service to humanity.
Who Can Apply
Since most scholarship awards are merit awards, many require specific grade point averages as well as proof of financial need. Students may be eligible for more than one scholarship, depending on their achievements and/or financial need. In most cases, the specific requirements are set by the donors who provide the scholarship funds. Many of the scholarships are renewable over four years if students continue to maintain the required grade point average.
