Trustees Scholarship

Purdue University, United States

Scholarship overview

The Trustees Scholarship is a university-wide merit award for incoming first-year undergraduates at Purdue. Value depends on residency.

Awarded on holistic review of the admission application: high school information, grades in core academic coursework and curriculum strength, grades in coursework critical to the intended major, essay and Purdue-specific questions, ACT/SAT/CLT score if provided, recommendation if provided, commitment to the academic program, leadership, service and accomplishments, and personal background. Awards are nonnegotiable; Purdue does not match offers from other institutions or consider merit aid appeals.
