The Office of Admission selects scholars in partnership with Emory faculty. About 10,000 students apply each year and 175 to 200 become finalists. Finalists in the US attend a Scholars Finalists Visit in spring at no cost. Applicants not chosen as finalists are still fully reviewed for admission and considered for other merit scholarships. Selection is separate from the financial aid process.
