Monmouth College Academic Achievement Awards
After being admitted to Monmouth College, each student’s individual academic profile and official transcripts including their cumulative grade point average, class rank and ACT score, are reviewed. An initial academic-based annual (renewable) Achievement Award will be announced from the Financial Aid Office directly to the student. Achievement Awards are determined automatically, no additional application is needed from the student. It should be noted, that this Achievement Award does not represent the final nor complete financial aid offer. The Achievement Award is simply the first component in the overall financial aid offer that will be made available to students.

into a voluntary agreement with the Veteran’s Administration to provide matching
assistance to help cover tuition expenses that exceed the highest public
in-state undergraduate tuition rate. For more information on the Yellow Ribbon

commitment from Monmouth College to provide assistance to help cover tuition

restrictions and the minimum lengths of service required by the Yellow Ribbon
Program listed above. For more information about this unique program, please
