Scholarships and Grant
Scholarships and grants are commonly termed "gift" assistance and need not be repaid (unless so stipulated as a condition of the award).
Grants
Grants are usually provided to meet a student's financial need as established through the submission of the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). Please review the section titled, "APPLYING FOR FINANCIAL AID" for further information.
Scholarships
Scholarships are generally awarded in recognition of academic achievement, talent, or some other characteristic. Financial need may not necessarily be a selection requirement.
The Juniata Nomination Scholarship Program:
These scholarships seek to encourage the enrollment of exceptionally gifted students through a nomination process incorporating alumni, trustees, guidance counselors, pastors, and other individuals who can communicate to the College the outstanding contributions that the student has made in his/her community. Several scholarships ranging from full-tuition to full-tuition fees, room, and board are offered each year. Qualified students must apply for admission and have nomination forms postmarked by January 2, 2010.
Please call (1-877-JUNIATA) the Office of Admission for further information.
