The starting point
Centenary's admission application is the scholarship application: every admit is automatically considered, and the published President's/Dean's/Trustee's grid starts at $30,000/$25,000/$20,000 a year on a recalculated core GPA plus a test score, with top applicants competing at Scholars Weekend for full-tuition awards.
More than one award path. Some awards use published academic thresholds. Others have different selection criteria. A score chart does not describe every award at this school.
Awards to discuss
First 3 of 11 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.
President's Scholarship
Starts at $30,000/year · Published award terms
Recorded as automatic on academic criteria; all conditions apply.
GPA: 3.8 Centenary GPA (recalculated core-course GPA on a 4.0 scale) · SAT: 1360 (Evidence-based Reading and Writing/Math) · ACT: 30 composite
Eligibility: Awarded automatically on the admission application; no separate scholarship application. Students accepted prior to December 1 who meet President's criteria are invited to compete for additional scholarships at Scholars Weekend (January).
Renewal: Renewable for three years for full-time students (four years total) who maintain the required cumulative GPA; the institutional-scholarships policy page states academic scholarships are 'renewable for three years for full-time students.' First-semester freshmen get two semesters to reach the minimum cumulative GPA.
Other terms: Front-facing freshman tuition-aid page lists 'Starts at $30,000/year.' The separate institutional-scholarships POLICY page shows an older/different President's tier (weighted core GPA 3.7, ACT 28/SAT 1310, amount 'varies') — treated here as a documented conflict (see Section C); the customer-facing freshman grid is used for the published amount.

Renewal: Renewable for three years for full-time students who maintain the required cumulative GPA designated for the scholarship; monitored every semester.
