Through the generosity of friends of Bluffton University, a number of endowed scholarships have been established. Unless designated otherwise by the donors, these are awarded on the basis of academic merit. Income from most of these scholarship funds is used to support in part the university’s regular scholarship programs. Students need not apply for these scholarships; all students are considered in determining scholarship eligibility.
