Scholarships
Undergraduate Freshman
Trevecca awards annual scholarships in recognition of a student’s academic achievement prior to enrollment at TNU. Awards are determined at the time a freshman enters college and will establish the maximum academic award for that student during his/her time at the University. A student must qualify as an incoming freshman in order to receive an academic scholarship. The table below names the scholarships and amounts, and it lists the requirements for freshmen. If you would like to submit your test score in order to qualify for an academic scholarship (or a higher level of academic scholarship), we will accept test scores through the April national test date. We will not award academic scholarship increases for tests completed after the April national test date. Note that the ACT score referenced below is reflective of a composite score. ACT super scoring will be accepted for scholarships. The RSAT (restructured SAT) is based on a total score of English Based Reading & Writing (EBRW) plus Math. Should you have questions, please email newstudentfinaid@trevecca.edu.
Trevecca is test-preferred for admission through 2022. Academic scholarships will be awarded at the time of admission based on the student's unweighted high school GPA OR based on the combination of the student's unweighted high school GPA and ACT/SAT score for applicants who choose to submit a test score. In order to qualify for the Strickland Scholarship and McClurkan Scholarship, applicants must submit a qualifying test score. Academic scholarships may be increased with test score submission through the April national test date.

Transcripts created by and sent from a parent of a homeschooled student will require either an ACT or SAT score to be submitted, for admission and scholarship consideration.
Trevecca awards annual scholarships in recognition of a student's academic achievement prior to enrollment at TNU. Awards are determined when the student transfers to Trevecca and will establish the maximum academic award for that student during his/her time at the University. A student must have two full-time semesters post high school graduation in order to receive a transfer academic scholarship. The table below names the scholarships and amounts, and it lists the requirements for transfers. Transfer academic scholarships are awarded once the final transfer GPA is determined.

Annual awards are distributed in two equal payments. A student may receive only one academic scholarship per semester. Institutional scholarships at Trevecca can be applied only to tuition, fees, food and housing and can never generate a credit balance. Institutional scholarships require a minimum load of twelve hours each semester and will not be awarded beyond eight full-time semesters. No institutional scholarships will be given for external academic programming in which no tuition is paid to Trevecca. The academic scholarships will be renewed in the fall semester of each academic year provided the student maintains the required renewed GPA (3.0 cumulative). Students who lose their original award level due to their GPA, may regain their award level in the future if they can raise their cumulative GPA to the required level (3.0).
