The starting point
DRAFT: Reinhardt's headline merit awards are capped-count competitive scholarships — eight $10,000 Presidentials (3.75+ GPA) and thirty $3,000 Diverse Talents awards (2.7+ GPA, residential) — layered over a first-come, first-served United Methodist (Hagan) scholarship program worth up to $12,000 in tuition-only aid.
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.

Mary Jane Reinhardt Sharp Scholarship
Amount not published · Published award terms
Not recorded as automatic on grades and scores. Read the selection rules.
GPA: Admitted students with a 2.5 or higher high school GPA are eligible to apply (as currently printed on the page — see note)
Eligibility: Application required; learning community and leadership development program participation
Renewal: Renewal terms not stated on the page.
Other terms: CAUTION: the page's Sharp Scholarship text is word-for-word identical to the Lettie Pate Whitehead entry ('supports Christian women leaders on campus ... 2.5 or higher'), which appears to be a copy-paste error; a Reinhardt news page surfaced in search describes Sharp as the second-highest academic award at 3.2+ GPA, but that was not verified on an opened page. Confidence: needs confirmation.
