The Fisher College of Science and Mathematics (FCSM) Scholarship Committee is accepting applications for the above
two full-tuition/fee four-year scholarships.
Only new, incoming, full-time freshmen students, who are planning to major in FCSM, are eligible to apply. Selection of awardees
will be made on the basis of merit without regard to race, religion, or gender. Awards will cover all tuition and fees at the in-state
rate. Merit will be determined by the student’s class rank, GPA, SAT/ACT scores, and the number, quality, and performance in
science and mathematics courses. Awards are renewable up to four years if the awardees make satisfactory progress in their
FCSM major and maintain an overall minimum GPA of 3.3 out of a possible 4.0 after their first year, 3.5 after the second year, and
3.6 after the third year. If an awardee’s GPA falls below the stated minimum in a given year, they will have one semester to rectify
the situation. To apply, complete this application in its entirety.
