Charlotte W. Newcombe Scholarship Program

Muhlenberg College is proud to announce an exceptional scholarship opportunity for adult learners enrolled in our Division of Continuing Studies. We have partnered with the Charlotte W. Newcombe Foundation to create a source of funding for adult students enrolled in their first Bachelor's degree program.  

The Newcombe Foundation provides scholarships in partnership with selected colleges and universities that welcome enrollment by mature adults and are committed to their success. 

Eligibility criteria for this scholarship include:

  • Have completed at least half the requirements toward their intended degree with either full-time (3 or more course units)  or half-time enrollment (2-course units)
  • Are maintaining a GPA of 2.5 or higher
  • Have unmet financial need as demonstrated by completing the FAFSA

Applicants are encouraged to describe other life circumstances or personal challenges that may have impacted their path to achieving their Bachelor’s degree.
