General Scholarship Information
Requirements
All scholarships will require a minimum of an application. Other possible requirements include letters of recommendation, essays, proof of admission, and financial need.
Deadlines
Deadlines for scholarships vary greatly. When applying for a scholarship, be sure to check the scholarship criteria and the deadline for that specific scholarship. The application deadline for all Adams State College scholarships is March 1st.
It is strongly suggested you write for information and applications as soon as possible so that you do not miss an early deadline. Admission to ASC is a requirement for all foundation and institutional scholarships. Successful recipients of Adams State College scholarships will be notified in writing of their award.
State Resident Criteria
Please be aware of the following: A "resident of the State of Colorado" or just "resident" is defined on the basis of criteria used by the Adams State College Registrar's Office. Individual scholarship donors may determine other definitions, such as what constitutes United States residency.
Definitions
- a "full-time" undergraduate student is one who is enrolled in 12 hours or more each semester. Again, individual donors may alter this definition.
- "GPA" is Grade Point Average, which is presently based on a 4.0 scale at Adams State College.
- "Demonstrated financial need" in most cases is based on the FAFSA form filed in our office. In rare cases, you may be responsible for proving financial need to scholarship donors according to their qualifications. You must submit the completed results (SAR) of the FAFSA application to ASC by April 15th preceding the year of enrollment.
