A selection committee will review applications based on academic and financial criteria. First round decisions will be made in late January or early February.

The award guarantees that you will receive, at a minimum, the same dollar amount in Morningside grants and scholarships toward tuition each year as you received your first year proviced you: maintain good academic standing, remain enrolled full-time, submit all required documents by stated deadlines, and continue to live on campus.
