Southeastern offers many scholarships to help you finance your education. A scholarship is a financial award given to a student on the basis of academic achievement and promise. Awards are often merit-based, though there are some that consider financial need as well. While scholarships do not have to be repaid, most require academic progress requirements to be maintained, and full-time enrollment (at least 12 hours per semester; can be for Full Term, Term 1, or Term 2, but must be enrolled full-time by Add/Drop date of the intended semester)
STEPS TO APPLY FOR SCHOLARSHIPS
Scholarship award notifications are sent to the student’s Southeastern email in late Spring for upcoming year. Applications received after the priority deadlines may not be considered for all scholarship programs and will be considered only if funds remain available.
