Purpose: To recognize applicants with strong academic records and programs.
Scholarship Amounts: Up to $80,000, distributed equally over four years of study at Allegheny (i.e. up to $20,000 per year). Financial need is not a consideration.
Renewal: Trustee Scholarships renew automatically for up to four years of full-time enrollment at Allegheny or in an Allegheny-sponsored off-campus study program. No minimum GPA is required to renew the scholarship.
Eligibility and Selection: Students recognized as Trustee Scholars usually rank in the top 25% of their high school class (or otherwise excelling in class work and other activities when the school does not rank) and have SAT/ACT scores consistent with their academic performance. Allegheny values students who balance their academic excellence with other distinctive activities. The top scholarship is awarded to the very best of the best, typically to only the top 5% of our applicants each year. A limited number of Trustee Scholarships are available to highly qualified transfer students.
Transfer applicants are also expected to earn a cumulative college grade point average of 3.0.
