University Incentive Award
We award the Incentive Award to students as “incentive” to continue high academic achievement. Sometimes, we award this scholarship to incoming freshman with credentials that are outside of the definitions of the regular academic scholarships. If you are a matriculating student that has never received an Honors Program scholarship or a current or former Incentive Award recipient with no earned violation, we usually require you to complete a scholarship application and submit the application by the specified deadline in order to qualify for funding. We grant this award on a competitive basis for one or two semesters per academic year. You must reapply for the award every year if you wish to be considered for continued funding. Applications are available during the last two weeks of April. Award funding varies but usually covers up to $2500 per year. The qualification criteria for the award are listed below.
Requirements:
Minimum of 30 credit hours earned at Morgan, with a cumulative G.P.A. of at least 3.100 and no semester G.P.A. less than 2.5, and no Honors level failing grade (“D,” “F,” “WF,” or “FL”) EVER earned in ANY course at Morgan.
