 For prospective 2021 freshman students we're excited to offer two scales for scholarship consideration this year. The automatic merit scale are scholarships awarded based on your high school grade point average and your standardized test score. The competitive academic scale are scholarships awarded to top scholarship applicants and the scholarship value is based on the ranking of the top scholarship applications and the student's core GPA. The core GPA includes your grades from math, science, English, social studies, and foreign language courses. Students that submit the requirements for both scales will be reviewed on both scales and will be awarded from the scale that produces the highest scholarship value. We strongly encourage all admitted students to complete the scholarship application whether they have a standardized test score or not.
