Scholarships are a form of financial aid that do not need to be repaid. DigiPen Scholarships can be awarded based on merit or financial need or a combination of both. DigiPen offers need-based and merit-based scholarships. We are committed to helping students who exhibit financial need, and we recognize the importance of rewarding excellence. Some of DigiPen’s scholarships require a separate application; visit our website for specific instructions at digipen.edu/scholarships.
Once you have been offered a DigiPen Scholarship you have to meet select eligibility criteria to receive the funds:
- Student must be a full-time matriculated/active student taking at least 12 credits as an undergraduate or nine credits as a graduate student to receive the full amount of the scholarship each semester.
- You must meet the standards of the Federal Financial Aid Satisfactory Academic Progress policy. SAP is checked after each semester. Students who are on Warning are still eligible to receive their scholarship.
- Your scholarship is only valid during the time period specified in your scholarship award letter. If you withdraw from any classes at any time, you may only be refunded for the tuition you paid and not for any of the tuition costs covered by this scholarship.
- Should you fail to attend DigiPen Institute of Technology during the semesters indicated on your scholarship award letter, your scholarships will be cancelled.
