*Merit scholarships are awarded by the Scholarship Review Committee and are based on the review of each student’s high school transcript, class rank and extracurricular achievements. Course selection and overall grade point average are weighed heavily in the review process. Sacred Heart University’s Test-Optional Admissions Policy does apply to the review for merit scholarships. However, if candidates feel their test scores provide further evidence of academic ability and potential, they may wish to submit them to the Office of Undergraduate Admission. Academic scholarships are renewable for four years (eight semesters) of undergraduate study provided the student is enrolled full time each semester and maintains the cumulative GPA established for each program. Academic scholarships are only awarded at the time of admission, and there should be no expectation that the amount will increase in subsequent years. Scholarships are limited and offered on a first-come, first-served basis; we recommended that students complete their applications for admission by February 1 in order to receive the maximum possible scholarship. In order to qualify for any of our need-based, merit-based or activity based aid programs, each incoming full-time undergraduate student is required to fill out two forms: the CSS Profile and the FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid).
On Tuesday, November 9, 2010, Sacred Heart University will host our latest on-line general information session that will cover financial aid and college admission. This is an ideal time for seniors (and juniors) to get the answers they need about the college application and admission process. Students do not have to be applying to Sacred Heart University to participate. Come join us and learn what applying to college is all about. This is a great opportunity for you, your parents, and guidance counselors to speak directly with college admission professionals without having to leave home or school.
