Coastal Carolina University is committed to the highest standards of academic excellence and recognizes outstanding freshmen and transfer students through its scholarship program. All full-time degree-seeking students who apply for admission to the University and are accepted by March 1 (for fall semester) and November 1 (for spring semester) are automatically considered for the following merit-based scholarships:

• The Presidential Scholarship, President's Scholar Award, Provost's Scholar Award, and Coastal Scholar Award are awarded to entering first-time freshmen for academic excellence and achievement.
