The starting point
Shenandoah awards every admitted student consideration for GPA-based scholarships from the admission application alone, with a highly selective $22,000 Presidential Scholarship (only 10 per year) that replaces — rather than stacks on — the standard Academic Scholarship.
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 7 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.

GPA: Based on high school GPA (no published GPA-to-amount grid)
Eligibility: Incoming first-year students in the College of Arts & Sciences, School of Business, or School of Nursing; amount also depends on program of study ('May very by degree.')
Renewal: May be renewed annually for a total of four years. To remain eligible, recipients are required to maintain full-time enrollment as an undergraduate student and a GPA of at least 2.5 (on a 4.0 scale), and must meet Satisfactory Academic Progress requirements.
Other terms: No separate scholarship application — consideration is based on the admission application. The page publishes only a dollar range, not a GPA grid; exact amount within the range is not published. Marked automaticOnStats false because the page says 'consideration is based upon' GPA and program rather than stating a guaranteed amount per stat.
