Scholarship Brochure
Catawba's Merit-Based Scholarships

Academic scholarships range from $3000 to full tuition and are based primarily on academic performance. All students are automatically considered for academic scholarships once they are granted admission to the College. Students are also encouraged to file the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) to determine eligibility for other forms of financial aid.

First Family Scholarships
The First Family Scholarships are the most prestigious scholarships at Catawba College. There are two First Family Competitions, one taking place on November 11-12, 2010 and one taking place on February 17-18, 2011. Consideration for the First Family Scholarship is by invitation only. In order to be considered for an invitation, students must first apply for admission to Catawba. Those subsequently invited to compete must complete the Financial Aid Estimator Form, provide a recommendation from a teacher or administrator, submit an essay of approximately 300 words (on a selected topic which you will receive by invitation), and submit a co-curricular listing of achievements by the appropriate deadline. Once a student is accepted and invited to participate in the competition, all supporting information for the November Competition must be submitted or postmarked by November 1, 2010. The corresponding deadline for the February Competition is February 1, 2011.
