Scholarships

Dual Enrollment Scholarships are funds dedicated to help former Dual Enrollment students pay for the Tuition costs associated with their pursuit of a Bachelor’s Degree at Embry-Riddle’s Worldwide Campus.

Embry-Riddle recognizes the investment students and their families make when choosing a private college, so providing financial assistance to aid Dual Enrollment students who have demonstrated a high level of academic achievement is important.

When counting credits to determine scholarship eligibility for that semester, many repeated classes will be excluded from the scholarship eligible credit count. Tuition can be paid for a repeated class IF that class was never previously passed.

Please Note: Previously passed courses are those with grades of D- or better or “P” if taken pass/fail. Tuition can also be paid for repeating a previously passed course as long as it is the first repeat of the course.
