ACADEMIC SCHOLARSHIPS
(for new incoming students)
MNU believes students who have achieved academic excellence should be encouraged
to continue that pattern. Therefore, the University offers seven academic scholarship
catagories for traditional undergraduate students.
Incoming first-semester freshmen qualify for an academic scholarship
based on their ACT/SAT score.
Home-Schooled Students qualify for academic scholarships based on their
ACT/SAT scores.
Transfer students qualify for academic scholarships based on their ACT/SAT
score unless they transfer in 56 or more credit hours; then their scholarships
are based on their incoming college GPA.
First-time freshman international students may become eligible for an
academic scholarship in one of two ways:
- If first-time freshman international students take the ACT or SAT, their
award will be based on the composite score as explained below.
- If a first-time freshman international student did not take the ACT or SAT, they can attend MNU for one semester to determine eligibility. After their first semester, the student may be awarded an academic scholarship based on his or her grade-point average according to the transfer GPA column. The student’s GPA must be at least 3.00.
