The starting point
DRAFT: Every Young Harris admit lands in one of four GPA-based merit tiers worth $17,000-$21,000 (100% of students receive scholarships, and textbooks are free in tuition) — but YHC publishes neither the tier names nor the GPA cutoffs, and the standout extra is the need-plus-merit O. Wayne Rollins $25,000 award for six freshmen.
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.
