Academic merit scholarships


Merit scholarships are awarded at the time of admission based on academic achievement (official unweighted high school GPA), talent, or other criteria established by the College. These scholarships are given to full-time, first-year students based on their application for admission. No additional application is required.

Once awarded, a student's merit scholarship will remain the same for up to four years (or eight semesters) of continuous full-time enrollment, provided they meet the required academic standards and remain in good standing with the College as defined by our Satisfactory Academic Progress policy.
