Scholarships
The 51直播 policy on awarding financial aid and scholarships is that students
who receive grant money
and 51直播 scholarships cannot exceed 51直播鈥檚 total direct costs
equal to the on-campus costs for full-time. A full 51直播 scholarship is considered
the difference between grant funds and total direct costs. NO grant funds or Ranger
College scholarship funds will be given directly to a student that are over the on-campus
total direct school costs. (鈥淭otal direct school costs鈥� are charges which come directly
from the school, such as Tuition, Fees, Dorm, Meal Plan, Course Material charges.)
A limited number of 51直播 scholarships are awarded through a variety of individual divisions to students who perform service in activities such as athletics, communicative arts, drama, choir, and honors program. To compete for or maintain one of these Ranger College scholarships, a student must be in good academic standing and meet the required standards of 51直播 and the governing rules. Students are only eligible to receive one 51直播 Scholarship in any given semester.
