Why you should attend an Academic Scholarship Day
Just by attending an Academic Scholarship Day at Augustana College, you can compete for a share of more than $500,000 in departmental scholarships!
Participate on an Academic Scholarship Day and you might achieve an extra $1,000 grant a year for four years — directly reducing your out-of-pocket cost. Who doesn't love free money?
For high school seniors and transfer students, Academic Scholarship Day offers both scholarship opportunities and a closer look at life at Augustana.
What to expect:
At first glance, Academic Scholarship Day may feel a lot like a traditional campus visit. The big difference is the scholarship competition. Each department runs its own process, which means your experience will be tailored to your academic interests.
Depending on your major, you may participate in:
- An interview or conversation with faculty
- A short written exercise
- A group activity or discussion
- An audition or performance
This is meant to be a low-stress way to demonstrate your passion for your field of study.
Get the real scoop on campus life:
Beyond the scholarship opportunities, Academic Scholarship Day is also a visit experience. You'll get to:
- Spend time on campus
- Meet with faculty and staff
- Connect with other prospective students
- Learn more about your major and academic opportunities and more!
Many students leave saying that this day helped them picture themselves as a Viking.
Academic Scholarship Day is about connection. Faculty and staff want you to feel comfortable, confident and excited about what’s ahead. Are you ready? Register for Saturday, Feb. 14: https://www.augustana.edu/admissions/visit/academic-scholarship-day
