Scholarship Description

Your application for admission to Hope also serves as your application for academic scholarships. Scholarships are awarded based on cumulative GPA, SAT, ACT, or CLT scores, and course selection (relative to what is available at your school). For the best consideration, be sure to submit any new academic information by February 1 of your senior year.

Scholarship Details

  • Scholarships are awarded based on GPA, standardized test scores (SAT, ACT, or CLT), and course selection.
  • Hope is test-optional for Fall applicants; students will receive the highest award they qualify for, with or without test scores.
  • Hope superscores test submissions, including individual subject tests on the ACT.
  • Each scholarship is guaranteed through the sophomore year and renewable for junior and senior years if a cumulative GPA of 3.0 is maintained.

Eligibility Criteria

  • Must be an applicant for admission to Hope.
  • Scholarship consideration is based on GPA, test scores (optional), and course rigor within the context of your school’s offerings.
  • For best consideration, submit updated academic information by February 1 of your senior year.

Application Process

  1. Submit your Hope admission application, which automatically serves as your scholarship application.
  2. If applicable, submit standardized test scores (SAT, ACT, or CLT) for superscoring consideration.
  3. Ensure that any new academic achievements or information are submitted by February 1 of your senior year.

If you are interested in attending Hope and would like to be considered for academic scholarships, submit your application for admission and any optional test scores. Hope will always grant the highest award based on your GPA alone or in combination with your test scores.
