Scholarships for Out-of-State Freshmen

All first-time-in-college students admitted for Fall 2009 will be considered for scholarship funding to attend New College. There is no separate application form for this. If you also complete your admission application file by February 15, 2009, we GUARANTEE scholarship funding.

All required materials (including official transcripts, exam scores, and the recommendation) must be all of your application materials, postmarked or transmitted by the deadline and received no later than 10 days after the deadline.

As available, scholarship funding will be considered for admitted students who complete the admission application file by April 15, 2009.

Tuition and scholarship funding amounts are tied to Florida's State University System rules for residency. For more information on residency contact your admissions counselor.

Notes

1  New College will recalculate your high school GPA for admission consideration, and use the same GPA in the Institutional Rating Calculator. A 4.0 is the maximum GPA to affect the Institutional Rating.  For more information on high school GPA, contact New College Admissions to discuss this with your admissions counselor.
   
2 Scholarship packages may be funded by multiple sources. If you qualify for more than one type of scholarship, you will be assigned only the highest level of award for which you are eligible (with the exception of the Affinity Award and IB Scholar Award which may supplement the highest level of award as noted).

3 Tuition and scholarship funding amounts are tied to Florida's State University System rules for residency. For more information on residency contact your admissions counselor.

4 New College will supplement your National Merit stipend to guarantee the New College Excellence Award amount.
