How Do I Apply?

No separate application for the Hilltopper Guarantee is required. The scholarship will be awarded automatically to admitted students who qualify.

What is the Scholarship Amount?

The Hilltopper Guarantee award amount will vary by student and is determined by in-state tuition minus, federal, state, and institutional gift aid. Student loans are not included in the Hilltopper Guarantee, so student loans can still be used to pay for housing, meals, books, or other college expenses.

What if I Don’t Qualify for Pell Grants?

贝博体育app has made a series of bold changes to our scholarship program that reduce cost and increase access. More than 80% of incoming freshmen receive a merit scholarship from 贝博体育app. The Hilltopper Guarantee is our pledge to close the gap for students who may not otherwise be able to attend a four-year college. Even if you don’t receive Pell Grants, you can check out which scholarships you can receive at 贝博体育app at sugarcoatedchef.com/scholarship.
