The starting point
Thomas More (KY, Catholic) gives every admitted student an automatic academic award (Thomas More Award $15,000 floor up to Presidential $18,000+), then lets a $1,000-$4,000 Test Score Bonus stack on top — while its top signature awards (National Merit/CIS Workship full tuition, Governor's Scholars $25,000) cannot be stacked. (DRAFT)
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 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.
