Special Scholarships
Special scholarships are defined with reference to particular areas of study, talent, or accomplishment, and require supplemental application(s). Selection for any special scholarship presumes successful application to the College. Students must submit special application(s) and/or supporting material to the College by the deadlines indicated in order to be considered.
These scholarships are renewable for the recipients' remaining three years at Centre. Larger recognition may supersede smaller awards. Refer to Special Scholarship Checklist to determine complete requirements for each scholarship.

The Bonner Scholars program is supported by the College and the Corella and Bertram F. Bonner Foundation. Up to 10 scholarships are awarded to students who demonstrate both financial need and outstanding commitment to community service. Each award guarantees that 100 percent of a student’s documented need will be met through scholarship and/or financial aid (in an amount that covers up to the cost of Centre’s comprehensive fee). In addition, the award provides a $2,000 school-year stipend, compensation for summer service, year-round service/learning programming, and other benefits. Notification: mid-March.

Remember to submit your Centre Aid Form by February 1 and to submit your FAFSA by March 1 in order to complete your Bonner Scholarship application.
