Scholarships

The Ranger College policy on awarding financial aid and scholarships is that students who receive grant money
 and Ranger College scholarships cannot exceed Ranger College’s total direct costs equal to the on-campus costs for full-time. A full Ranger College scholarship is considered the difference between grant funds and total direct costs. NO grant funds or Ranger College scholarship funds will be given directly to a student that are over the on-campus total direct school costs. (“Total direct school costs” are charges which come directly from the school, such as Tuition, Fees, Dorm, Meal Plan, Course Material charges.)

A limited number of Ranger College scholarships are awarded through a variety of individual divisions to students who perform service in activities such as athletics, communicative arts, drama, choir, and honors program. To compete for or maintain one of these Ranger College scholarships, a student must be in good academic standing and meet the required standards of Ranger College and the governing rules. Students are only eligible to receive one Ranger College Scholarship in any given semester.
