TOPS Scholarships

The TOPS scholarship will only fund the tuition portion of institutional charges for two (2) academic years. It does not cover the cost of books, supplies, and fees. 

TOPS recipients must enroll in an eligible school, as a full-time student (enrolled in a minimum of 12 credit hours each semester), within one year after graduation from high school. Completion of 24 credit hours during the fall and spring semesters with a minimum overall GPA of 2.5 is required to maintain eligibility.
