Office of Financial Aid First-Year Student Scholarships

We automatically review any accepted student for a merit scholarship. Our scholarship review committee conducts a merit-based, holistic review for each accepted student. The committee looks at many factors including a student’s incoming GPA, the courses a student has taken in high school, and the rigor of those courses. Since we are test-optional for the Fall 2025 semester, ACT or SAT scores are not required to receive a scholarship, but may be submitted as supplemental information. Students must be admitted to 利记sbo by March 1st to be reviewed for a merit scholarship.
