Academic Scholarship Material

All students who enroll within one year of their traditional high school graduation may qualify for an Academic Scholarship. Academic Scholarships are based on American College Test (ACT) scores or Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT) scores and high school grade point average (on a four-point scale). Tests must be taken on national dates rather than residually. Scholarships can be renewed for a maximum of four years; the cumulative grade point average of enrolled students will be evaluated after each year at GLCC. Academic Scholarships cannot apply toward extension or co-op courses.

Failure to maintain the renewal GPA will result in a reduction or elimination of the academic scholarship. Once reduced or eliminated, academic scholarships cannot be reinstated at their former level.
