- Any student admitted to Southeastern with a 24 or higher ACT and a minimum 3.00 high school grade point average qualifies for a scholarship at Southeastern.
- Housing and meal supplement ONLY available to students living on campus.
- All scholarships are awarded for eight semesters.
- Although there is no longer a formal deadline, students are strongly encouraged to apply early. The application for admission serves as the application for scholarships as well.

The Progression Scholarship was created by Southeastern to promote retention and timely progression toward a four-year degree. Only students who enrolled in Summer or Fall 2007 as a beginning freshmen as well as beginning freshmen who enroll in future semesters are eligible for this unique scholarship.

Additionally, for students who depend on student loans, graduating in four years could reduce their overall debt significantly!
