How selection works

Recipients may hold only one merit scholarship from the Office of Undergraduate Admission.

Recipients must complete a full-time programme with at least 12 credit hours each fall and spring (24 per year) and keep a 3.0 GPA for the academic year, calculated first after the second semester. The award may be revised if other grants not anticipated at award time are received.
