A new scholarship program at Fresno Pacific University reaches out to students from the Mennonite Brethren tradition.
Beginning in the fall of 2001, up to $7,450 per year in aid will be available to qualified students entering the traditional undergraduate college. Participants must be members of a Mennonite Brethren congregation, or consider such a congregation their home church. Freshmen must have a high school grade-point average of at least 3.1 and transfers must have a GPA of at least 2.4.
FPU scholarships and federal financial aid (for U.S. students) may count toward the total, but loans will not be included. California residents with a Cal Grant receive a minimum of $14,900, which is full tuition for 2001-2002.
