Students who enroll on a part-time basis (minimum 6 credit hours per semester) will receive 50% of the scholarship amount.
The admission application is available at www.ucclermont.edu/admissions/apply
Adult Student Scholarships
Adult Student Scholarships will be awarded to new or returning degree-seeking students who meet the following criteria:
25 years of age or older as of January 1, 2015
New to higher education = $750 per academic year
Returning to higher education in good academic standing after a 2 or more year absence = $750 per academic year
Adult student scholarships will be awarded automatically to students who 1) meet the criteria above, 2) have completed the UC Clermont admission application by February 27, 2015, and 3) confirm their admission to UC Clermont College by March 31, 2015. Students who enroll on a part-time basis (minimum 6 credit hours per semester) will receive 50% of the scholarship amount.
Donor-Based Scholarships
In addition, donor-based scholarships are also available to new and returning UC Clermont students. To apply for these awards, students must submit the online UC Clermont scholarship application. For important details and to access the application, please visit www.ucclermont.edu/admissions/financial-aid/scholarships/scholarship-application.
Students are eligible to receive only one scholarship from UC Clermont. Awards may be restricted in individual cases so that total gift aid (scholarships, tuition remission, VA benefits, etc.) does not exceed the cost of tuition. For questions regarding the scholarship process, email clermont.scholarships@uc.edu or call 513.558-0087.
