The best part about receiving the presidential scholarship is not worrying about finances while attending college. I can be as involved on campus as I please, not having to spend all my extra time working to pay off student loans. In my case, I work part-time, but I still have ample time for my studies. Without worrying about student loans and debt, I do not feel pressured into a particular major and pursue my dream of becoming a teacher.
Being a Presidential Scholarship recipient has pushed me to do my very best academically. It’s a great motivator when you feel like giving up. My tips for students applying are to be yourself and show that you have the discipline needed to handle the academic requirements, but know that it’s not as scary as it sounds!

The Fontbonne Promise is a unique opportunity for first-time, first-year students in Missouri who are calculated with an expected family contribution of zero on the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). The university will award full tuition and fees for five years to a select number of first year students.
Students who qualify for the Fontbonne Promise will receive a financial aid award that covers full tuition and fees — loan free. The scholarship funding will be made possible through a combination of federal, state, Fontbonne aid and donor contributions.
