Peru State College has reworked its scholarships into a new model based on findings that high school GPA is a strong predictor of student success at Peru State College. The new Success Award model will provide more scholarships to more students attending Peru State.
Dr. Jesse Dorman, vice president for enrollment management and student affairs, writes, "Looking back at the last several years, we can see clear evidence connecting college success to high school GPA. Peru State's new Success Awards will better recruit the students that have been most successful on our campus."
Peru State College is still offering these awards to incoming freshmen. To qualify, students must complete an application for admission, including submission of an official high school transcript and an official ACT/SAT score.
