High School Scholarship Program
Would You Like to Get a Head Start on Your University Courses?
A limited number of competitive academic based scholarships are available for two classes to be taken during summer session after high school graduation (before your freshman year in college). Students who have been admitted to Bellarmine University and are planning on attending Bellarmine University are eligible to apply for the High School Scholarship Program.
The scholarship covers two courses -- six semester credits total. The courses includes ACCT 101 - Principles of Financial Accounting and one other 100 level course selected from Bellarmine University's Summer Class Schedule. Registration is limited to seats available in classes after regular registration is completed.
ACCT 101 - Principles of Financial Accounting (3 credits) is designed for all business majors to present the essential core concepts of financial accounting and a complete overview of financial statement reporting.
