Academic scholarships are awarded to recognize a student’s academic ability. You may receive both an Academic Achievement Award and a Presidential Scholarship.

Presidential Scholarships
These awards are based on the results of an on-campus competition held in November and February each year. To be eligible, a student must be a high school senior who has been accepted for admission. Eligibility requirements include a 25 ACT composite and a 3.5 grade point average. Presidential scholarship recipients are eligible for limited amounts of Athletic and/or Performing Arts scholarships.

Phi Theta Kappa Transfer Scholarship
If you are a member of the Phi Theta Kappa honor society, have a cumulative college GPA of at least 3.5, 45 semester hours of transferable college credit and plan to enroll at Dana full time, you will be eligible for a $14,000 annual scholarship.

Renewal Requirements for all Academic Scholarships

• Scholarships ranging from $0 - $4,999 require a 3.0 cumulative GPA each year.
• Scholarships ranging from $5,000 – $7,499 require a 3.25 cumulative GPA each year.
• Scholarships ranging from $7,500+ require a 3.50 cumulative GPA each year.

Cumulative GPAs are reviewed annually each June to determine if the renewal requirement is met. If the eligibility requirement is not met, it is still possible for a student to earn his or her scholarship back the following June, assuming the GPA requirement is met.
