Event Details
We want you to experience the heart of Faith!
Faith’s Fall Scholarship Weekend is an exclusive opportunity for high school seniors and transfer students, who have applied to Faith for fall 2025, to visit campus and interview for thousands of dollars in institutional scholarships. When you attend Scholarship Weekend, you will have the opportunity to:
- Connect with Faith students and faculty.
- Engage in classes.
- Hear our leadership share their vision for Faith.
- Meet high school students like you from across the country.
- Interview with Admissions and Student Life staff for scholarships.
The average financial package is $14,432. 99% of our campus students receive aid. It all begins with an interview for scholarships!
If I haven’t made my college decision yet, should I still attend Scholarship Weekend?
Absolutely! If you’re still deciding where to attend college next year, Scholarship Weekend is an ideal time for you to visit campus. We encourage you to use the weekend to get to know Faith — to meet our leadership and students, to experience campus life, to consider scholarships and finances, and to really experience the heart of Faith.
You are eligible to attend if you:
- Are a high school senior in the 2024–25 school year or a transfer student.
- Plan to enroll as a full-time college student in fall 2025.
- Have completed your college application. Submit your application here.
- Register for Scholarship Weekend. (Registration closes November 8, 2024)
We encourage parents to join us for the weekend, but students are also welcome to attend alone. Informative sessions on Friday will focus on college finances and will be beneficial to both students and parents.
All applicants will be awarded financial aid once they have completed the following scholarship process:
- Interview for scholarships
- Have your ACT or SAT scores sent to Faith
- Complete your FAFSA in February 2024.
You do not need to have completed your ACT/SAT or your FAFSA in order to attend the weekend. However, it is required in order to be awarded a scholarship package. For more details on the scholarship process and the types of aid available, visit our financial aid page.
