Eckerd College: Scholarships you need to know about!

By Amanda C Starling on December 27, 2012

Eckerd College, everything you need to know is easily accessible on the website.

Since many of you may not have the time to sift through all of the information for yourself, I’ve done it for you. If you’re not an Eckerd student, your school should have easy access to scholarship and financial aid information on their website as well.

Here’s my top 3!

1. Academic Achievement Scholarships – First Year Students - This is a great scholarship for the high acheiving freshmen. Based on GPA and SAT/ACT test scores, you could be awarded a hefty portion of the cost to attend Eckerd. The highest amount awarded is $16,000. and the lowest is $10,000. If awarded the top amount, that is a huge burden off your parents- and they will thank you.

2. Florida Bright Futures Scholarship - These programs recognize the academic achievement of Florida high school graduates. There are three scholarship programs. Each program award amounts are based on the number of credit hours the student is enrolled in each semester. The Florida Academic Scholars program awards $101. per credit hour. The Florida Medallion Scholarship and the Florida Gold Seal Scholarship programs award $76. per credit hour.

3. Eckerd College Transfer Scholarships - For those of us who didn’t have the opportunity to begin our college journey at Eckerd, outstanding transfer applicants have the chance to score some assistance as well. Awards are based on GPA, and range from $6,000. to $12,000.

For more information on all of the scholarships and to apply, visit the scholarship page on the website.

Don’t forget about the Florida Resident Access Grant (FRAG). The grant awards $2,149 per year for Florida Residents enrolled full time at a non-profit, Florida private college. That’s equivalent to buying three, and getting one free. Information for this grant can also be found on the scholarship page on Eckerd’s website under the Florida Aid tab.
