When filling out the application for this award, you’ll need to provide a few pieces of information about yourself.

You’ll also need to furnish your high school information: graduation year, GPA and SAT or ACT scores. If you’re currently in college, you’ll have to provide transcripts from all colleges attended.

Other basic requirements are fairly standard across most scholarship programs: you must be a United States citizen and you must be enrolled as a full-time student at Clayton State University when the award is disbursed. In addition to these standard requirements, there are some other criteria specific to this scholarship worth mentioning. For example, applicants must maintain a minimum 2.5 GPA while attending Clayton State University in order to continue receiving their award each semester during their sophomore year (and beyond). Applicants should also note that they may be considered for other scholarships offered by Clayton State University if they don’t receive the exemption scholarship they applied for initially (these additional scholarships would not affect their eligibility for the exemption scholarship).
