Bacone College Scholarship Programs

Each year many scholarships are awarded to deserving students based on merit and talent. If more than one scholarship is offered, the student will receive the highest award.

The scholarships listed below can be applied towards a student’s Tuition, Room, and Board as a main campus student enrolled full-time (minimum of 12 credit hours) in the fall and spring semesters. These scholarships aid students in meeting their college tuition expenses and are not cash awards. These awards cannot exceed a students total college expenses.

Bacone Institutional scholarships, when added together with all other federal and state grants, or any other scholarships and grants, will not exceed the total cost of Tuition, Room, and Board. Bacone Scholarships do not cover fees or books. Federal Work Study, Tribal Awards, and student loans can be used to cover outstanding balances, fees and/or books. All institutional scholarships will be applied with one-half of the award for participation during the fall semester, and one-half of the award for participation during the spring semester. If a student withdraws from a semester completely or falls below full-time status, their Bacone Scholarship will be pro-rated from the last day of full-time attendance.
