Merit Scholarships
Student standouts—that’s what we look for! Merit-based scholarship recipients generally distinguish themselves scholastically and personally even within our highly competitive group of admitted students.
Past recipients have included:
- political and community service leaders
- math/science competition winners
- creative and performance artists
- entrepreneurs
- scholar-athletes
- exceptional writers
All admitted freshman applicants are automatically considered for merit-based scholarships, so that no separate application forms or interviews are necessary. The Office of Admissions notifies scholarship winners at the time of admission to the university. The following is a list of some of our 2013-2014 merit-based scholarships.
