INTERNATIONAL ACHIEVEMENT AWARD (IAA) BEGINNING FRESHMEN

The International Academic Achievement Award is for beginning freshmen and transfer students.

For freshmen, it is renewable for three academic years (maximum of four consecutive academic years). Additionally, at the end of each year, students must have a Southeast cumulative 2.75 GPA and completed 24 Southeast credit hours (may include Southeast summer hours).

VALUE $6,900.00

This scholarship covers the difference between the nonresident tuition and in-state tuition rates. Students are not charged the in-state rate, but instead receive a financial aid credit to offset the nonresident tuition rate. The actual value varies based on enrollment; the estimate shown is based on 15 hours per semester (fall/spring). The value varies based on actual enrollment and will be reduced for less than 15 hours per semester.
