All full-time students who have applied and been accepted to Carroll in the 2018-2019 academic year are automatically considered for the above guaranteed minimum scholarships and awards based on official recalculated high school transcripts and test scores. Merit scholarships are awarded for up to four years of full-time study. Other Carroll College institutional aid is generally awarded for up to four years. Students must maintain a 2.0 or higher Carroll cumulative grade point average to retain the merit awards and all other Carroll scholarships and/or grants. Additional gift aid may be available for full-time students who submit a FAFSA and are determined to have financial need. New students must deposit by May 1 to be eligible for additional need-based Carroll gift aid.
Carroll institutional grants/scholarships will not exceed:
- On-campus students = Total of tuition/fixed fees/room/board
- Off-campus students = Total of tuition/fixed fees
Carroll College institutional aid is not refunded to a student but will be used to pay institutional costs incurred during the academic year awarded. If a student receives outside aid that specifically covers tuition and/or room and board charges, Carroll aid may be reduced. Examples include Veterans benefits, vocational rehabilitation, Bair scholarships, ROTC, etc.
If students choose to live off-campus, have been granted permission to live off-campus, or live in campus apartments, institutional need-based aid may be reduced. The financial aid package is based on full-time attendance and a student’s housing status at Carroll.
