Apply now for a Polk State Merit Scholarship

Posted on by Polk Newsroom

Polk State College is accepting applications for the Merit Scholarship, which provides funds to students who have:

  • Submitted a current FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) for the academic year
  • A high school or college GPA of 3.0
  • Enrolled full-time (12 credits or more for the Spring 2026 Semester; this requirement may be waived if the student cannot register for at least 12 credits because the student is enrolled in a limited access program (LAP), or because the student is in the graduating term)

Students can apply here through December 5, 2025, to be considered for a Merit Scholarship for the Spring 2026 Semester.

Students who need assistance can email financialaid@polk.edu.
