About

Scholarships and merit-based awards are gift aid awarded to undergraduate students solely on a merit basis.

When awarding merit aid, they take a holistic approach, looking beyond the numbers related to academic talent alone and reviewing what a student contributes outside the classroom as well as considering recommendations and personal essays.
