Merit-based scholarships are awarded through the admission office. Students with high levels of achievement and talent are eligible for renewable, merit-based scholarships. Dollar awards range from $1,000 to full tuition, fees, room and board. The college automatically considers all early-decision and scholarship-decision students for merit-based aid.
When granting merit-based scholarships, the college looks at several factors including academic achievement, community service, evidence of leadership, extracurricular involvement and state residence.
Semifinalists for our most competitive scholarships are invited to attend Scholars Weekend in late February for an on-campus interview with a scholarship committee. Other awardees are honored during Achievement Weekend in March.
