3. The Thomas Franck Merit Scholarship

* The purpose of our need-based scholarships is to provide access for students who demonstrate high financial need. Need-based scholarships offset a portion of tuition and do not have to be repaid. Students whose enrollment fee is being billed to and paid by a third party, such as through GI Bill® or Vocational Rehabilitation programs, are not eligible for tuition waiver scholarships or grants.
