Corban scholarships and merit aid

The short answer

Corban may be worth checking, but its awards do not follow a simple grades-and-scores chart. Start with the published scholarships below.

    Open award details for Freshman Academic Scholarships (2026-2027)

    Who qualifies

    New traditional undergraduate freshmen beginning in 2026-2027; full-time enrollment required; per the tuition page, academic scholarships are 'awarded automatically when you apply' and institutional aid factors include GPA and SAT/ACT/CLT scores — but no public amount-by-GPA grid is published. Choose-one rule: one award in the Academic category.

    Worth knowing

    The tuition-aid page separately states 'Every new student will receive at least a $9,000 academic scholarship.' No grid published — do not assume tier cutoffs.

What makes Corban different

DRAFT: Corban uses a pick-one-per-category system — Academic ($10,000-$18,000 for 2026-27 freshmen), Talent, and Affiliation awards each cap at one — with small 'Additional Aid' awards, outside scholarships, and federal aid explicitly stacking on top, plus invite-only Presidential (full tuition) and Mosaic (full COA) scholarships.

Selection beyond grades and scores

Start with the selection process.

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.

  1. Read the selection rules

    Look for the school's stated criteria and whether an additional application is needed.

  2. Check the application dates

    Confirm the current admission and scholarship deadlines directly with the school.

  3. Know what happens next year

    Check renewal, credit requirements and how other aid affects the award.

The fine print / Three questions to carry forward

Before you count on it.

Does it apply to us? Confirm the entering year, residency and every eligibility condition.

Can we keep it? Check renewal GPA, credits and how long the award lasts.

Can we combine it? Ask how outside scholarships and other school awards change the offer.

What families often miss

  1. Corban allows 'ONE (1) scholarship or grant in each category for Academic, Talent, and Affiliation' — a homeschooled PTK alumnus's child gets one affiliation award, not three.

  2. The Affiliation category is labeled 'non-athletes choose one' — students taking an Athletic Scholarship (Talent category) are excluded from the affiliation list.

  3. 'All awards require full-time enrollment' — part-time semesters forfeit institutional awards.

  4. Presidential is 'Up to full cost of tuition'; only the Mosaic Scholarship reaches 'up to full cost of attendance.' Both are invite-only — you cannot simply apply.

  5. Corban publishes only the range; the tuition page says academic scholarships are awarded automatically at application using GPA and optional test scores, but the cutoffs are not public — get your exact figure in the official offer.

  6. Checks go to Student Accounts, are split 'equally between fall and spring semesters, unless the scholarship specifies otherwise,' and late checks still get processed — but Corban 'will adjust your financial aid package,' so confirm in writing that need-based Corban Grant money is not reduced.

  7. Per Corban's outside-scholarship timeline, the OSAC application opens November 1 with a final deadline of March 1; the Ford Family Foundation application opens December 1 and closes March 3.

Who this school may work for

DRAFT: Every full-time admit gets a five-figure academic award automatically; church-connected, homeschooled, ACSI/ACCS, and PTK students add one affiliation award; top invited students compete for the full-tuition Presidential or full-COA Mosaic.

That works out to an average 46% discount off the sticker price above — both figures come from the same federal AY 2021-22 Scorecard report, not a number the school itself published.

If your student brings another scholarship

Corban's structure is explicit: ONE scholarship or grant in each of the Academic, Talent, and Affiliation categories (non-athletes choose one Affiliation; Talent and Affiliation are alternatives for athletes since Affiliation is marked 'non-athletes choose one'). 'Additional Aid' awards (Corban Grant, $500 Visit Scholarship, $500 FFA Officer Award), outside scholarships, and federal aid 'may be added on top of this.' Outside checks are split equally between fall and spring unless the scholarship specifies otherwise.

The page affirms outside scholarships add on top of category awards. Caveat: the Outside Scholarships FAQ says Corban will 'adjust your financial aid package' when a check arrives — most plausibly meaning the award is added, but whether need-based Corban Grant can be reduced is not stated; flagged as a question in Section C. All awards require full-time enrollment.
