Scholarship Information

Rutgers

RUTGERS Award Process

All first-year admitted students for the fall semester who meet the eligibility requirements below are reviewed for scholarships.* No additional application forms are required. University scholarships for first-year students are offered for a total of four years provided recipients maintain specified levels of academic achievement. Scholarship notification is sent subsequent to the letter of admission and no later than April 15. Recipients must respond by May 1.

If your school does not typically provide class rank, we will request one for scholarship review purposes. We accept sixth or seventh semester weighted ranks.

* Funding levels reflect last year's applicant pool. We encourage you to apply early because we are experiencing a significant increase in applications and funding is limited.
