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 provided you: maintain good academic standing, remain enrolled full-time, submit all required documents by stated deadlines, and continue to live on campus. However,IF tuition increases in future years or if you are no longer pell-eligible, you are responsible for covering the additional costs. Students who choose to live off-campus before earning 91 credit hours will have their award package reduced by $6,000.
