THE UNIVERSITY OF OLIVET

ADVANTAGE SCHOLARSHIP

Every student should have an ADVANTAGE for attending college.

Since 1844, The University of Olivet has provided college access and higher educational opportunities for students regardless of gender, race or financial means. At The University of Olivet, it’s about who we include, not exclude, and cost should not bar a student from experiencing the value of a private college education.

The ADVANTAGE Scholarship makes college tuition no-cost for students who qualify for the Michigan Achievement Scholarship and the federal Pell grant. In addition, the ADVANTAGE Scholarship will significantly benefit other Olivet students.

MICHIGAN ACHIEVEMENT SCHOLARSHIP

The Michigan Achievement Scholarship (MAS) provides eligible students with additional state financial aid to attend college. For private colleges, like The University of Olivet, students can receive up to $5,500 per year.

To be eligible for the MAS, Michigan students must be first-time, full-time students beginning in the fall and have a Student Aid Index (SAI) of $30,000 or less as indicated on the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA).

THE UNIVERSITY OF OLIVET ADVANTAGE SCHOLARSHIP: THREE WAYS TO BENEFIT

1. For students who qualify for the MAS and are Pell-eligible, published tuition and general fees will be NO COST after all Michigan and federal grants are applied.

2. Students who qualify for the MAS and come from families whose adjusted gross income is $100,000 or less will pay no more than $5,000 in published tuition and general fees for the academic year to attend The University of Olivet after all Michigan and federal grants are applied.

3. For students who qualify for the MAS and come from families who earn more than $100,000 in adjusted gross income, The University of Olivet will pledge at least $20,000 of institutional funds toward published tuition and fees.

FOR ALL ADVANTAGE SCHOLARSHIP STUDENTS

• Students must be pursuing a bachelor’s degree and remain full-time in good standing in each regular semester.

• Families are responsible for room and board charges, books and incidentals; however, federal loans may be applied toward these costs.

• While The University of Olivet offers four-year awards for first-time, full-time students, this program does not account for possible tuition and fees increases in future academic years, which will be the responsibility of the student.

• It is important to note that students who are not eligible for the MAS program are provided an affordable financial aid package from The University of Olivet, consistent with our mission.
