Southeastern offers several scholarship opportunities for students through Southeastern’s
Scholarships Services Office as well as several of Southeastern’s academic departments.
You can also find additional information about scholarships in Southeastern’s General Catalog.
The Southeastern Honor Scholarship and the Senator Ben Nevers Transfer Scholarship are available to international students who qualify. Your application for admission
to Southeastern serves as the application for these two scholarships so there is no
need to submit an application for them separately.
More information regarding these scholarships, and others, can be found on the Office of Financial Aid web page. Information regarding eligibility on this site is given for those who have
taken the ACT exam. If you have taken the SAT, those scores will be converted to reflect
their ACT equivalent using the verbal and math scores for the composite. For more
information on how to convert SAT scores, please see the ACT-SAT Concordance.
****Eligibility requirements for scholarships and award amounts are subject to change.
