Legacy Award
Legacy Award
Drake University's Legacy Award honors full-time degree-seeking undergraduate students who are children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren of Drake graduates.
The $2,500 annual award (one award per student) is not based on financial need, must be applied only to the cost of tuition and is renewable for up to eight full-time semesters. No separate application is required.
To qualify you must list your legacy connection to Drake within your admission application and their Drake degree must be conferred before the student begins enrollment.
Awards are based on a variety of criteria depending on the type of scholarship and are not based on financial need.
Undergraduate scholarships are available only to students enrolled at the undergraduate level, for up to 4 years total or until a Bachelor's degree is earned (whichever comes first). Students entering one of Drake's joint undergraduate/graduate degree paths should refer to Program-Specific Policies to understand which years are designated as undergraduate-level for billing and financial aid purposes. Scholarships will renew automatically if all renewal requirements are satisfied.
