The most competitive scholarship program offered by Drake University is the National Alumni Scholarship (NAS). Outstanding first-year students enrolling straight out of high school who satisfy all requirements and finish the whole application procedure are given National Alumni Scholarships.  The National Alumni Scholarship program for 2024 will take place online.

Eligibility for Drake University National Alumni Scholarships:

• To be eligible to apply for these scholarship rewards, a student must be enrolling directly out of high school and have a cumulative GPA of 3.8 or above on a 4.0 scale OR rank in the top 5% of their class (weighted GPAs acceptable).

• Students who have excelled in other areas, such as extraordinary academic performance, which is frequently recognized by their school, state, or federal government, are also recognized as National Alumni Scholars of the university; these individuals also take on leadership roles and responsibility for a variety of activities or organizations that have a positive social impact. Scholars are students who have a strong work ethic and commitment to their extracurricular activities, jobs, and/or volunteer work.

• Scholars show initiative and creativity when they try something new or different or show how they get over adversity or pain. Finally, academics exhibit a passion for their work and the subjects they study. Their achievements show how passionate they are about learning, which they also use to extend their boundaries.

Value of the scholarship:

• One National Alumni Scholarship to Drake University, full tuition. Any other half-tuition scholarship awarded is superseded by this award.
