Undergraduate Scholarships

The Andrews Partnership Scholarship (APS) is available to U.S. residents, undocumented and international students admitted to undergraduate programs on the Berrien campus; students admitted to online and affiliate campus undergraduate programs are not eligible. The Office of Undergraduate Admissions will determine the scholarship amounts for incoming freshmen and transfer students. To establish the scholarship amount, the Office of Undergraduate Admissions will determine a rating based on the following guidelines:

  • Confirmed U.S. SAT or ACT scores
  • Confirmed U.S. cumulative GPA (following the conclusion of the sixth semester for academy or high school)

To determine your offered amount, please visit our online APS Calculator, or contact the Office of Undergraduate Admissions for further details. International and Bridge to Success students should contact undergrad@andrews.edu for their offered APS amounts rather than use the APS Calculator.

PLEASE NOTE: Undergraduate students who receive the Andrews Partnership Scholarship do not qualify for or receive the undergraduate International Partnership Scholarship (IPS); see more details on the IPS below.
