The Presidential Scholarship Program offers 35 scholarships ranging from $31,000 per year to full tuition. These scholarships are offered to incoming students and are renewable for four years.

The Presidential Scholarship deadline has passed for fall 2025 freshmen. Join our mailing list to receive more information and updates about Carthage scholarships.

Presidential Scholarship Program applicants will be notified in late December if selected to participate in the second round. If selected, candidates for the Presidential Scholarship Program will be invited to an event in January or February to have a conversation with two faculty/staff members and complete an essay. Both on-campus and remote options will be offered. Parents are invited to an interactive session to learn more about the benefits of a Carthage education.

Students who attend the second-round event will receive a $2,000 grant toward tuition, renewable for four years.

In addition to submitting the scholarship application, you must also apply for admission. Submit your application for admission and supporting materials including high school transcripts to Carthage by December 3 to be considered for these scholarships.
