Champions of Excellence Scholarships

You are a well-rounded student who is not only academically focused, but who is also engaged in pursuits outside the classroom.

American University wants to foster your participation in both academic and extracurricular passions. Therefore, we offer several scholarships for students interested in Model United Nations, mock trial, debate, as well as scholarships for students interested in science or mathematics competitions.

Scholarships will range between $500 and $5,000 a year. Students are able to renew their scholarship each year provided the student takes at least 15 credits every semester, and maintains a 3.2 or higher GPA.
