Scholarships
for Undergraduate Students

Carroll recognizes outstanding student accomplishments. These scholarships are available for first-time freshmen and are awarded at the point of acceptance. A student is eligible for only one of these scholarships, and the amounts do not increase from year to year.

2022-2023 Academic Year Scholarship Amounts

Carroll University awards renewable, automatic merit scholarships (non-need-based grants) to incoming first-year students at the time of admission. These scholarships are based on cumulative high school GPA and standardized test scores, when provided. There is no need for an additional application to be reviewed for these scholarships! These renewable scholarships range from $15,000 - $23,000 per year.

A student is awarded merit scholarships based on their academic background. In the event that academic information improves over time (as noted by a 7th semester high school transcript or submitted test scores), Carroll will review for a higher merit scholarship based on information received by February 1, 2022.
