Scholarship Policies for Undergraduate Students

For students who have been awarded an undergraduate merit scholarship the following will apply: 

  1. Scholarships will be applied to fall and spring semesters only (no summer).
  2. Scholarships must be applicable to the student’s program requirements.  If a student does not have 12+ credits (full-time) applicable toward their degree requirements, their scholarship(s) MAY be prorated based on the number of credit hours that apply to their major. Any exceptions must be approved by the Registrar and the Director of Financial Aid.
  3. Franciscan scholarships are limited to graduating high school seniors in on-campus, undergraduate programs and are offered by invitation only.  Students must submit an essay and one letter of recommendation and submit the FAFSA soon after the 2025-2026 FAFSA is available to claim their scholarship offer.
  4. The Franciscan Scholarship is applied as a waiver of any remaining cost of tuition after need-based financial aid and Hilbert scholarship(s) and/or scholarships from outside of Hilbert have been applied. Franciscan Scholarships do not cover fees or housing.   Should the combination of financial aid, grants, Hilbert-sponsored Scholarships (such as the honors program scholarship) and outside scholarships exceed the cost of tuition, the Franciscan Scholarship may be removed in favor of a larger financial impact to the total cost of tuition, fees and housing charges.
  5. Scholarship recipients must maintain a minimum cumulative grade point average (CGPA) to maintain their award.
    • Franciscan Full tuition scholarship, Mother Colette scholarship, and the Transfer Honors scholarship require a 3.0 renewable CGPA.
    • Hilbert scholarship requires a 2.7 renewable CGPA.
    • Trustee scholarship, Transfer Academic Merit scholarship, Provost Scholarship and the Leadership scholarship requires a 2.5 renewable CGPA.
    • The following scholarships requires a student maintain Satisfactory Academic Progress:
      • Assisi Opportunity Program
      • Transfer Assisi Opportunity Program
      • Boces/High School Articulation
      • Dual Enrollment
      • Honors Program
      • Leadership Program
      • Cardinal O’Hara Service Award
      • Child of Alumni
      • Out of State Match grant
      • Visit grant
  6. Scholarship requirements will be reviewed at the end of each academic year.  If students do not maintain the requirements of an academic merit scholarship, the scholarship will be reduced by 50% of the annual award.  Students will have the opportunity to appeal if there were extenuating circumstances that prevented the student from meeting the requirements.  Students should contact the Student Finance Office for instructions of how to complete an appeal.
  7. For entering first time in college students in 4-year programs the award will cover a maximum of 8 consecutive semesters. 
  8. For Canadian students, a 20% discount is applied to the net tuition amount due after the merit scholarship is applied. 
  9. Any current Hilbert student that is interested in changing their program from on-campus, in person instruction, to online instruction may do so by completing a program change form. Please note: Given the reduced tuition rate for programs offered through Hilbert College Global, students will NOT be eligible for any institutional grants/scholarships or merit-based aid that they were previously eligible for on-campus instruction.  Students who receive discounted tuition via online programs are not eligible for Merit Scholarships, Donor-Funded Scholarships, Federal Work Study, or Federal SEOG.
