Undergraduate Scholarships

Undergraduate students are eligible to apply for two scholarships that are reduced from our annual tuition fee of $12,942: the Coyote Commitment Scholarship and the Global Community Scholarship. The Coyote Commitment is automatically awarded to first-time freshman applicants students at the time of admission, with a value of up to $4,000 per year based on high school GPA. All undergraduate students (including transfer students) are eligible to apply for the Global Community Scholarship, which is based off of extra curriculars, community service, and a variety of other factors. The GCS is valued between $1,000 to $3,000 per year and may be stacked on top of the Coyote Commitment. Recipients of both awards may achieve a half-tuition scholarship. 

Graduate Assistantships
