The starting point
DRAFT: MACU publishes its 2026 freshman/transfer merit tables only as image flipbooks, but posts clear flat-dollar affiliation awards (Church of God leadership, pastor-family, church-match, alumni-referral) — each around $1,000-$6,000 a year with explicit no-stacking pairs and a tuition-and-fees cap on the Alumni award.
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 5 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.
