Hanover Academic Merit Scholarships serve to recognize the overall academic achievement of students. The scholarship review committee examines GPA, SAT/ACT scores, class rank, course load and academic rigor for all applicants to Hanover College. Awarding of the four categories of academic merit scholarships is largely based on the academic composite, but co-curricular activities and campus visit interactions can aid in difficult decisions. The amount and number of scholarships awarded in each category is determined on an annual basis according to the demographics of our applicant pool. Awards are renewable for up to four years at Hanover College. All students who apply for admission will automatically be reviewed for a merit scholarship.
