Academy scholarships are awarded to currently accepted and enrolled Academy students only. Scholarship awards are only considered for applicants who have completed the FAFSA through the Office of the U.S. Department of Education. Applicants are encouraged to complete the FAFSA. Applicants must have a completed FAFSA and scholarship application on file by the Academy Scholarship deadline, which is communicated to students by the Administrative Unit.
