Decision sheet

Oregon · Research checked 2026-07-02 · School research, not an aid offer

The starting point

DRAFT: Bushnell publishes a clean eight-band GPA scholarship grid ($6,000 at 2.80 up to $16,000 at 3.90+, set once at admission), plus flat add-ons for Christian-school grads ($4,000), visits ($1,000), church ties, and family connections.

Selection beyond grades and scores. These awards are not recorded as automatic on grades and scores. Read each award's selection rules, application steps and dates. Meeting a minimum is not an award offer.

Awards to discuss

First 3 of 4 recorded awards, in chapter display order. This is a selection, not a ranking. Read the full chapter for all awards. Amounts retain the original units and conditions; confirm the entering year with the school.

Eligibility: 'Merit scholarships based on academic achievement are considered only at the time of admittance to the university.' Page says FAFSA completion automatically considers you 'for most scholarships' but does not label the GPA grid itself automatic.

Renewal: Renewal terms not stated on the page.

Other terms: Pure GPA grid — no test-score component published. No aid-year label on the page.

Ask before you decide

  1. Which entering-year policy and residency category apply to us? What are the admission and scholarship deadlines?
  2. What grades and credits are required to renew, and for how many terms?
  3. How would other school awards or outside scholarships change the offer?

The research date is not a guarantee that a policy still applies. Confirm current amounts, deadlines and conditions with the school before making a financial decision.
