High school seniors, continuing UNCA (2+2 or BSE) students and transfer students to UNCA may apply for scholarships.
New freshmen will be evaluated on the basis of their high school record.
Continuing students at UNCA must earn a 3.0 in the current semester and maintain a 3.0 cumulative GPA to be eligible.
