• Eligible according to federal student aid requirements
• Formally admitted to Elmhurst University and enrolled in an eligible program
• Meet enrollment requirements for the specific funds awarded
  • Elmhurst University Scholarship funds and need-based grants require full-time enrollment
  • Federal and state grant funds may be awarded to students enrolled less than full-time, depending on their eligibility determined by the FAFSA.
