Explore all your college funding options, including Post scholarship opportunities!
Loans and grants through federal financial aid can be an extremely important part of your college education funding package. Another vital resource? Scholarships. Like grants, scholarships are monetary awards that do not need to be paid back by the recipient. At Post University, we offer several scholarship opportunities to help students achieve their educational goals.
University Scholarships
Post offers several university-based scholarships, including:
Merit Scholarships (Fall 2026-Spring 2027)
Incoming first-time freshmen may be eligible for one of Post’s Academic Merit scholarships. Awarded in different funding amounts, these scholarships are based on your high school GPA:
- GPA of 3.8 or higher – up to $25,000 per year
- GPA of 3.5-3.79 – up to $22,500 per year
- GPA of 3.0-3.49 – up to $20,000 per year

These institutional merit-based scholarships are renewable, provided you maintain Satisfactory Academic Progress.
