No scholarship application is needed to be considered for an Academic Performance Scholarship. Academic Performance Scholarships are awarded once you apply and are admitted. The priority admission application deadlines are November 1 and March 1.  Funds will continue to be awarded as available after these dates but are not guaranteed.

The deadline for Western Ohio Educational Foundation, Wright State Foundation, and donor-based scholarships is March 1.
