What Happens to Your Application?

Your application is considered for a scholarship award by the Huntsman School of Business Scholarship Committee.

In order to allocate funds in as objective and equitable method as possible, the Huntsman School uses an index score based on several factors related to academic success and financial need.

For academic success, we calculate an index formula that awards a score with weighted components based upon:

Overall GPA and credit hours
Huntsman GPA and credit hours (this makes up approximately 2/3 of the weighting).

Needs-based awards also take the FAFSA score into account.
