The Purdue Alumni Club of Cincinnati will again be awarding scholarships to freshmen entering Purdue University in the Fall Semester. We awarded four $2000 scholarships in 2019. We expect to award similar dollars in the future.
To be eligible for the scholarship, current high school seniors must meet the following criteria:
- Candidates must reside in one of the following counties: Hamilton, Butler, Warren, or Clermont (Ohio); Kenton, Campbell, or Boone (Kentucky); Dearborn, Franklin, Ohio, or Ripley (Indiana).
- Incoming freshman must have a combined SAT of at least 1400 (Critical Reading and Math) or an equivalent ACT (about 32), and rank in the top 25 percent of their graduating class.
- Candidates must submit a Purdue Club of Cincinnati Scholarship application. See the link below.
- Financial need (as determined by federal and university guidelines) will be an additional factor, but not required; each applicant is encouraged to apply for financial assistance through the Purdue University Division of Financial Aid (765-494-5050).
Applications are due by March 1 and will be awarded on or before April 15 for the upcoming academic year.
We hope to hear from you soon! Hail Purdue!
