|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Bishop Carroll Scholarship Consideration — amount not guaranteed RESISTANT CASE: Carroll publishes a GPA x test-score matrix for 2027-2028, not simple thresholds; rows record each named level at the lowest GPA/test combination that reaches that amount, per the matrix. Test-optional column also exists (e.g., 3.8-4.0 GPA with no test score = $7,000). Awards are offered for up to four consecutive full-time years; retention requires good academic standing, full-time enrollment and remaining a campus resident. CONFLICT: Carroll's 2026-2027 catalog publishes the same level names as 'guaranteed minimum' scholarships of $18,000-$26,000 — irreconcilable with the 2027-2028 admissions-page matrix ($2,000-$9,000); rows follow the current admissions page and the conflict is flagged for the coordinator. | 3.8 | 1300 | 28 | $9,000 (published figure — not guaranteed) | $36,000 (published figure — not guaranteed) | both | No | Official source Verified 2026-11-02 | |
| Presidential Scholarship Consideration — amount not guaranteed Per the 2027-2028 GPA x test-score matrix: $7,000 cells are GPA 3.8-4.0 with ACT 24-27 or no test, and GPA 3.6-3.799 with ACT 24+. Offered for up to four consecutive full-time years; retention requires good academic standing, full-time enrollment and campus residency. The 2026-2027 catalog publishes conflicting larger 'guaranteed minimum' levels ($18,000-$26,000) under the same names — see Bishop Carroll row note. | 3.6 | 1160 | 24 | $7,000 (published figure — not guaranteed) | $28,000 (published figure — not guaranteed) | both | No | Official source Verified 2026-11-02 | |
| Trustee Scholarship Consideration — amount not guaranteed Per the 2027-2028 matrix, GPA 3.4-3.599 yields $5,000 regardless of test score (including test-optional). Offered for up to four consecutive full-time years; retention requires good academic standing, full-time enrollment and campus residency. | 3.4 | — | — | $5,000 (published figure — not guaranteed) | $20,000 (published figure — not guaranteed) | both | No | Official source Verified 2026-11-02 | |
