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

The starting point

An automatic, GPA-based ladder of seven named merit scholarships ($10,000-$26,000/yr) sits beneath an invitation-only Prestige tier (Hollingsworth full-ride), but each scholarship has its OWN renewal-GPA cliff and you never move between tiers.

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 10 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.

E.T. Roux Scholarship

$10,000-$14,000 per year · Published range

Recorded as automatic on academic criteria; all conditions apply.

Eligibility: Automatically considered when you apply for admission

Renewal: Per the FSC Terms & Conditions (2024-2025), Roux renews at a 2.2 cumulative GPA. You do NOT move between scholarship levels.

Other terms: Lowest rung of the automatic named ladder.

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?

Recorded stacking policy: Florida Southern's Financial Aid Office states it reserves the right to adjust academic scholarships when a student receives aid from multiple sources 'to keep within college packaging parameters'; the published language does not name a cost-of-attendance or other specific threshold, so confirm with the aid office how an outside scholarship would affect the award before counting on full stacking.

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.
