Diversity Scholarship

Fryxell Humanities Scholarship

Dr. Lucy Fryxell and Dr. Donald Fryxell taught English at Augustana from the 1950s through the 1980s. Both were master teachers who cared about students and cultivated their potential. Lucy established the Don Fryxell Scholarship in memory of her husband. She desired that the scholarship be awarded to scholars who wish to study the humanities. The Fryxells had a special affinity for literature and the pursuit of an elegant and excellent use of the English language. Therefore, special consideration is given to candidates with an interest in studying English and/or journalism.

Available to freshmen interested in humanities areas — preference given to English or journalism majors.
Amount available | $1,000 per year, renewable
Application | Must be offered admission to the university by Feb. 1. The Fryxell Scholarship Application and the Fryxell Scholarship Nomination Form should be returned to the Office of Admission by Feb. 15.

PACT Grant

The Parish And College Together (PACT) program is a matching grant program for students from their congregations. Its purpose is to provide financial assistance for students who wish to attend Augustana University.

Augustana University has opened the PACT program requirements and removed all deadline dates for PACT matches. Churches are welcome to submit a PACT Agreement Form to notify us which students will receive a scholarship. All scholarships provided by any church will be matched, up to $500, with no deadline for the PACT form submission or notification.

How PACT Works

Any full-time student that receives a scholarship of any amount from their church is eligible to receive a matching grant up to $500 from Augustana.

To Receive the Matching Grant

Any representative from the church may fill out the PACT Agreement Form, listing the names of qualified students who will attend Augustana the next school year, or the student may fill out an Outside Scholarship Report listing the name of the church and the amount of the scholarship. There is no notification deadline to receive the matching grant, although we request that notifications are completed before July 1.
