ON THIS PAGEClaremont ScholarshipsScholarship funds are awarded to students based on merit. Some scholarships are available regardless of need. Students applying for admission to the M.A., M.Div. and Ph.D. programs will automatically be considered for scholarships. Scholarship eligibility requires enrollment in a minimum of 9 units (8 units for Ph.D.) To retain all scholarships, students must have and maintain a Satisfactory Academic Progress (2.5 for M.A./M.Div, 3.3 for Ph.D.) IMPORTANT NOTE: Some scholarships have additional grade point average requirements that may be higher than those listed above. Review the catalog for these additional requirements or contact the Financial Aid Office. All Claremont School of Theology scholarship recipients must complete the Scholarship Recipient Profile Form. Return the completed form to the Financial Aid Office. Scholarship Recipient Profile Form - New Student Scholarship Recipient Profile Form - Returning Student Outside ScholarshipsThere are many scholarship opportunities available for students willing to do some research. We are often receiving information regarding private scholarships. Remember, every little bit helps in paying for college, and many scholarships are never applied for. Click here for a comprehensive list of outside scholarship opportunities. Students who bring in "outside" scholarships will have the funds added to their award package; this may allow us to reduce their loans. Students are cautioned about sending money to agencies claiming to help find scholarship resources. With a little effort, students can find the same resources for free. Applying for outside scholarships1. Use any free time to search and apply for private scholarships. 2. Inquire about scholarships within your community, church, and/or denominational affiliation. 3. Do NOT pay to apply for scholarships. There are companies that scam students by charging fees to search for scholarships. 4. If you need help writing an essay or need a recommendation letter, contact the Writing Center or talk with the Financial Aid Office. Also see the Writing Center's Links and Resources for sample essays and cover letters.
