Access Scholarship

Neumont's Financial Aid Department awards Access Scholarships of $5,000 to $10,000 for the entire program (up to $1,000 per academic quarter) for the 10-quarter BSCS, BSIS, BSTM, and BSWD

programs, or $6,000 to $12,000 (up to $1,000 per academic quarter) for the 12-quarter BSGD program. Need is determined by the student’s Expected Family Contribution (EFC) derived on the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). Access Scholarships are applied to quarterly tuition costs and awarded for each academic year. An academic year is defined as three quarters (nine months).

Annual renewal of Access Scholarships is not automatic. Students must reapply each academic year (every three quarters). Depending upon calculated need in subsequent years, Access Scholarship awards may vary from one academic year to the next. Factors that are used to determine the annual Access Scholarship award include family income, assets, household size, and number of family members in college, as declared on the FAFSA.

Prospective students who would like to be considered for need-based scholarships should:

• Complete Neumont’s Application for Admission
• Complete the FAFSA
• Complete Neumont’s Financial Aid Worksheet

Access Scholarship recipients must maintain a cGPA of 2.50 or higher. Students who forfeit scholarship eligibility in an academic year due to inadequate cGPA will forfeit their Access Scholarship for the next academic year, as described in the Scholarship Forfeiture section of this Catalog. In addition, Access Scholarship recipients must maintain full-time enrollment status and abide by student conduct standards, as outlined in the current edition of the Student Handbook.
