Purpose:
The primary purpose of the scholarship program at Midland College is to provide financial assistance to students who, without aid, would be unable to attend the College. In addition to this orientation, Midland College seeks to assist in the following areas of special interest for the growth, vitality, and quality of the College:

1. Attraction and retention of students with outstanding intellectual, creative, and leadership abilities;
2. Development of a student body with socio-cultural, economic, geographic and ideological diversity;
3. Development of a student body committed to a quality education in the liberal arts tradition.

Type and Eligibility of Scholarships:
Midland College offers a number of academic and performance scholarships, both endowed and undesignated, which recognize excellence. Scholarship awards are competitive and selection is based upon merit, interest, and ability. Generally, only full-time students are eligible to apply. However, special situations such as scheduling conflicts may arise that will allow a scholarship recipient to enroll on a part-time basis.

To be enrolled full-time, undergraduates must carry at least twelve (12) semester hours. A student must be officially accepted for enrollment at Midland College before a definite commitment of financial aid is made.

Normally, scholarships are awarded for one school year. Students are eligible to reapply provided that the recipient continues to meet necessary academic standards and adheres to the enrollment status required by the scholarship received. In most cases, one-half of the yearly scholarship is awarded for the fall semester and the remaining half for the spring semester. Scholarships are gifts and do not have to be repaid. Unless specified in the scholarship agreement, no scholarship aid shall be given for audited, non-credit or continuing education courses, or for workshop participation.

Applications for all scholarships that are processed through the Midland College Financial Aid Office can be obtained from the Scholarship Coordinator or at the Scholarship Bulletin Board in the foyer of the Scharbauer Student Center.
