The starting point
DRAFT: Point automatically considers every applicant for merit scholarships (amounts unpublished) and offers a true full-ride Founders Scholarship — tuition, fees, room and board — to just two students a year, alongside a menu of small capped named awards that mostly exclude athletes and marching band members.
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
