University Grants and Scholarships
Merit scholarships are awarded to incoming undergraduate students who are on main campus and are awarded when they are admitted. See our page on Academic Scholarships for the most up to date information. Once awarded a merit scholarship the scholarship does not change from year to year and if your GPA goes up or down before enrollment the amount does not change. This is a great benefit so you are aware of what aid you are getting.
