FINANCIAL ELIGIBILITY

Determining Your Financial Eligibility for the Phillips Scholarship

 Financial eligibility for the Phillips Scholarship is determined by several factors:

  1. Substantial unmet need
  2. Heavy Student loan burden
  3. Admission and subsequent enrollment in an institution with a liberal outside grant policy (i.e. the school reduces self-help and unmet need before reducing its own grants when a student receives outside scholarships).
Before applying for the Phillips scholarship, you should determine if you qualify financially. Using your financial aid award letter from the school you will be attending and the correct Cost of College figure from our list, make the following calculations.
