SCHOLARSHIPS

FOR NONTRADITIONAL STUDENTS

Traditional students enrolled in their first year of college elsewhere, who had previously been accepted and awarded a scholarship to Carroll University, will have their initial award honored. Students must transfer by fall term of their sophomore year to qualify. 

Nontraditional students without prior college experience may qualify for a merit scholarship. Scholarship amounts are determined at time of acceptance.

Previous bachelor’s degree students are eligible for a one-third tuition discount identified as an Old Main Scholarship* if enrolling full-time.
