Copper Dome

The Copper Dome Scholarship serves as the institution’s flagship merit award for incoming freshmen. The scholarship features a test-optional evaluation system that awards progressive funding based strictly on cumulative unweighted high school GPA starting at 2.9. Award values range from $500 up to $5,000 per academic year, helping significantly reduce out-of-pocket costs for degree-seeking students. No separate application form is required; qualified candidates are evaluated automatically upon submitting their standard undergraduate admission application by the priority guarantee deadline. The scholarship is renewable for up to eight semesters (four academic years), provided recipients complete at least 24 SEMO credit hours annually and maintain a minimum 2.0 cumulative GPA.
