Institutional Scholarships
Students who wish to be considered for an institutional scholarship must apply for both admission and financial aid and be accepted as a full-time student. Students must meet scholarship criteria established by the Pikeville College Admission, Retention and Scholarship Committee. This criteria consists of class rank and grade-point average (GPA), National ACT/SAT scores and may include other criteria, as the Committee deems necessary.
Pikeville College institutional scholarships are renewable for no more than three additional years provided the student remains a full-time student and maintains a specific academic average as stated in his/her scholarship agreement.
