Merit Scholarship Programs

متطلبات أهلية أخرى

All new students are considered for academic scholarships as part of the admission application review process (a separate scholarship application is not required). Merit scholarships are awarded by the Scholarship Review Committee and are based on the review of each student’s high school transcript and class rank. Course selection and overall grade point average are weighed heavily in the review process. Sacred Heart University’s Test-Optional Admissions Policy does apply to the review for merit scholarships. However, if candidates feel their test scores provide further evidence of academic ability and potential, they may submit them to the Undergraduate Admissions.

Merit scholarships are renewable for four years (eight semesters) of full-time undergraduate study provided the student maintains the required cumulative GPA established for their specific scholarship. Merit scholarships are only awarded at the time of admission. There should be no expectation that the amount will increase in subsequent years. Scholarships are limited and offered on a first-come, first-served basis.

Merit scholarships range from USD $6,000 to USD $21,000. Programs include:

• President's Excellence Award
• Trustee Scholarship
• College Scholarship
• Conley Award

Transfer students may be eligible for Merit scholarships based on academic achievements at their previous post-secondary institutions. Programs include:

• Phi Theta Kappa
• Transfer Achievement Award
• Community College Scholarship
