Cincinnatus

To be considered for awards, incoming freshmen with a strong high school record must have a complete application for admission* by December 1st of their senior year.  Eligible Cincinnatus scholars will be determined by academic program**.

• Presidential awards of $94,000
  • Estimated $23,500 per year covers full tuition, fees, room, board, and a book allowance
• University awards
  • Ranging from $6,000 to $24,000 ($1,500 to $6,000 per year)
• Century awards
  • Ranging from $6,000 to $10,000 ($1,500 to $2,500 per year)
• Annual $3,000 Cincinnatus Out-of-State Scholarship added to awards for students ineligible for Ohio, reciprocity or metropolitan tuition rates or UC National Outreach Award.
• All Cincinnatus scholarships are renewed for the length of the undergraduate academic program providing the student maintains a 3.0 GPA and completes the annual 30-hour community service requirement.

Again, only students whose admission application* including transcript and, when required, official test scores are complete by December 1, 2023, will be considered for scholarship awards.

• Qualifying students will be determined based on their overall admission application (including response to the personal statement), transcript, and, when required, test scores.
  
• Consideration for award amounts will be based on the qualifying student for each academic program.
  

Cincinnatus scholarship awards will be emailed to the highest achieving students in their selected academic program**. Based on institutional enrollment goals, additional students may be awarded at the discretion of the university.

December 1 is also the early action deadline used for most other UC freshmen scholarship awards including most college-based awards.

For maximum scholarship consideration across campus, all incoming freshmen are encouraged to have a complete admission application* submitted by December 1.

Details will be sent to Cincinnatus-qualifying students in early February.

All UC scholarship awards are made in accordance with the UC scholarship policies.

Cincinnatus is not just another scholarship program. With its focus on community service while enrolled, students turn their unique experiences, aptitudes, and abilities into a quality education at the University of Cincinnati.
