New incoming Day Undergraduate first-year and transfer students are automatically considered for institutional merit-based scholarships at the time of admission with no separate application being required.
Merit awards, based on the student’s grade point average (GPA), range from $4,000 to $21,000 for the academic year and are valid for a total of four (4) academic years / eight (8) semesters*. Should a student require additional semesters, the merit scholarship will cease to be applied to the account. Additionally, the merit scholarships do not apply to Summer semesters.
