Applicants must submit a qualifying SAT and ACT score for consideration. The Cardinal Elite Scholars award will give students $40,000 over four years. $8,000 per year ($4,000 per semester) will be applied toward tuition, and $2,000 per year ($1,000 per semester) will be applied toward on-campus residence hall. If a student chooses not to live in the residence hall at any point in time, their room scholarship will be forfeited for the remainder of their scholarship.
