CMU academic scholarships are awarded to incoming undergraduate CLAS students on the basis of a student's academic record of GPA and ACT scores. CGES students are eligible for CGES-only scholarships and are not eligible for CLAS institutional scholarships. The generosity of alumni, friends and churches allows Central the opportunity to offer aid to many of our students. These Hall of Sponsors and Endowed Scholarships underwrite most of the institutional scholarships that CMU awards. The institutional scholarship package that an incoming freshman or transfer student accepts prior to the beginning of the first school year with CMU is the scholarship that the student will receive for up to 10 semesters of matriculation at the University, provided that they maintain the appropriate GPA required for their scholarship. The exception to this statement is the amount of award a student can receive for participation in athletics or talent programs can be adjusted to reflect performance or participation. Institutional aid may be reduced if assistance is received by third parties. CMU institutional scholarships are applied first towards tuition and mandatory fees, with third party assistance being applied for any remaining charges. Students approved for off-campus living may only receive institutional awards totaling up to full tuition, general fees, up to $1,000 for books, and a meal plan or $1,000 declining meal plan per semester.
