Boston University
Website: http://www.bu.edu/admissions/apply/costs-aidscholarships/scholarships/
SCHOLARSHIPS & MERIT AWARDS
If you are a high achiever, Boston University wants to help you accomplish
everything you possibly can as a BU student. One of the ways we do this is through a
variety of scholarships. Last year, Boston University awarded nearly $12.5 million in
merit-based scholarships to entering freshmen. Most awards are for academic
achievement, while others go to talented athletes, performers and artists. The
competition is keen: typically, recipients rank in the top 10% of their graduating
class, but achievements outside the classroom in schools and communities can also
make a difference.
BU has several kinds of academic scholarships. Some are available for specific areas
of study. For some, you must be nominated by your high school. And for other
scholarships, no additional steps are required for consideration. BU funded awards
may cover full tuition or a specified dollar amount.
Merit Awards
• Trustee Scholarship
• Presidential Scholarship
• Other Merit Scholarships
Most merit-based awards don’t require that you apply for financial aid, or have
calculated financial eligibility. However, we strongly encourage you to complete the
forms for need-based aid. Then, if you do receive a merit award, you’ll also be
considered for any supplementary financial aid for which you are eligible.
Merit scholarships are renewable for up to three additional years of study if you
complete 12 credits each semester, maintain the annual grade point average
specified in the award notification, and remain in good disciplinary standing at the
University.
University Residency Requirement: All students who receive University-funded
scholarships equal to or greater than tuition are required to live on campus.

based solely on academic performance without regard to financial need. Award
levels are guaranteed for qualified students whose admission applications are
complete by February 1.
Academic Scholarships
$24,000 to $48,000 over four years
A number of criteria are used in awarding these
scholarships including an assessment of academic performance and records of
leadership and service in schools and communities.
Caterpillar Employee Dependents Scholarship
These scholarships benefit the dependent children of Caterpillar employees,
retirees, and deceased employees. Scholarship amounts are determined by
Bradley's Office of Financial Assistance and range up to $1,500. Recipients must be

special relationships to Bradley including parents and grandparents who have a

Fine and Performing Arts Scholarships
Awards up to $4,000 per year are available to students majoring in art, theatre and
music or participating in competitive speech (forensics). Awards up to $500 are also
available to non-music majors selected for one of our many instrumental and vocal
performance groups. Consideration for fine and performing arts scholarships
requires an audition or submission of a portfolio.
*Applicants with lower class ranks (or no rank) receive consideration based on grade
point average, curriculum and competitiveness of their high schools. Applicants with
lower test scores and extraordinary academic performance are also considered for
19
scholarships.
Grant Assistance
A combination of factors are considered when making these awards including a
student's academic performance, Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA)
results, and eligibility for other scholarships. Awards vary and can change from
year-to-year. This grant assistance could be funded by a variety of sources, including
Bradley, state, and federal grants. Grant assistance requires a 2.0 GPA for renewal.
Loans/Work Study
Federal Loans
At Bradley, federal loan recipients borrow directly from the federal government.
These low-interest loans are deferred until after graduation as long as students
maintain at least half-time enrollment. For more information on federal loan
programs, click here.
College Work Study
Students with limited family resources as determined by the results of the FAFSA
are provided this federally-funded opportunity to earn "spending money" through
part-time, on-campus employment. Students typically work 8 to 10 hours per week
at minimum wage earning about $1500 per year. Paychecks are issued bi-weekly.

Students wishing to work who are not eligible for College Work Study are able to find
other on-campus employment opportunities.

Scholarships are defined as a type of financial aid, in the form of a grant (a sum of
money or other aid) that does not have to be repaid by the recipients to assist
students as they pursue their studies. Scholarships are most often given to students
for a couple of reasons: academic merit/achievement, or financial need (or a
combination of both).

If you receive other financial aid from UIC, these scholarships will be considered
part of the total financial aid package. Admission to the Honors College does not
guarantee a scholarship.
President’s Award Program Honors
The President’s Award Program Honors (PAP-H) is a distinct part of the campuswide President’s Award Program (PAP). It is the University of Illinois’ most
prestigious four-year tuition and housing scholarship given to exemplary incoming
first-year Honors College students. Eligibility consideration for the PAP-H
scholarship is based on a combination of ACT composite score, class rank, and
belonging to one of the following applicant pools: high-achieving newly admitted
freshmen from historically underrepresented groups; high-achieving newly
admitted students from low-sending Illinois counties (defined as counties sending
an average of two or fewer students per academic year to the University of Illinois in
the past five year period); or high-achieving newly admitted dependent students
whose families are not expected to contribute to the cost of their education as
verified through FAFSA and financial aid application processes. Prospective
students apply for the award through the regular UIC admissions and Honors
121
College review processes. Once admitted to the university, potentially eligible
applicants are nominated by UIC’s Chancellor, then undergo individual review to be
considered as President’s Award Program Honors Scholars.
The President’s Award Program Honors Scholarship promotes academic excellence
within and beyond the Honors College community, connects students with Honors
College Fellows and other premier faculty members, and fosters civic engagement
and leadership. The Honors College provides a collaborative and supportive
educational environment that allows students to explore issues in depth through
small classes and specialized research projects. Living in Honors Housing in the
residence halls ensures proximity to UIC’s academic and social support networks
and keeps students involved in campus life. Honors College students are known on
campus as leaders, innovators, and contributors to the UIC community and beyond.
PAP-H Scholarships allow motivated and hard-working Honors College students to
make an even greater difference through their research and engaged citizenship.
OFFICE OF SPECIAL SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAMS
A wide range of scholarships supporting undergraduate and graduate study are
open to Honors College students. The Office of Special Scholarship Programs staff
assist students in searching for awards, exploring eligibility criteria and deadlines,
providing feedback on resumes and essays, and arranging for mock interviews if
needed to ensure the best possible outcome.
Deadlines for the awards run throughout the academic year. Preparing a
competitive application requires students to begin well in advance of the deadline.
In particular, the Rhodes, Marshall, Mitchell, Fulbright and Gates Cambridge have
early fall deadlines and preparation to apply should begin the previous spring.
While the financial assistance offered by these scholarships is the most obvious
reward, the process of applying also offers great benefits such as helping candidates
develop as thinkers, writers and speakers in ways that are advantageous to their
professional and personal development and building strong ties with faculty and
staff who support your application.

The Dean’s Graduate Merit Award is a one-time award of a designated amount
without respect to financial need. If financial need is demonstrated, this tuition
award must be coordinated with, and may include, other sources of assistance in
compliance with requirements of federal, state, and institutional financial
eligibility. Students may be full or part time, however, if their actual tuition costs

Villanova University
Website:
http://www1.villanova.edu/villanova/enroll/finaid/scholarships_grants.html
In the spectrum of educational funding, scholarships and grants are the "free
money." These awards do not need to be repaid. In general, scholarships are given
based on merit and grants are given based on financial need. A student is
automatically considered for Federal grants and Villanova-endorsed scholarships,
listed below, simply by applying for financial assistance from Villanova University.
For all other outside grants and scholarships, it is the student's responsibility to
verify application procedures.
Need-Based Grants
Villanova University Grant
This is an institutional grant based on financial need. Students must be
accepted/enrolled in a full-time (minimum of 12 credits per semester) in the day
college in an undergraduate degree program and pursuing their first baccalaureate
degree. All Villanova students must apply for need-based financial assistance to be
considered for this program. This award can be applied only to tuition charges billed
by Villanova University during the academic year (i.e. during the Fall and Spring
semesters) for a maximum of 8 semesters (4 years). To be given priority
consideration for the grant, students must meet the application deadline. May be
replaced by endowed scholarship funds.
Federal Pell Grant Program
This is a Federal grant for students demonstrating exceptional financial need and
accepted/enrolled in an undergraduate degree program. Application for Federal Pell
Grants may be made by submitting an initial FAFSA or a Renewal FAFSA. Part time
students may be eligible for Pell grants.
Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant (FSEOG)
This is a Federal grant administered by the educational institution based on
financial need. Only undergraduate degree candidates are eligible. Priority
consideration is given to Pell Grant recipients. All Villanova students must complete
the VU application and an initial FAFSA or the Renewal FAFSA to be considered for
the program.
PHEAA Grant
A Pennsylvania State Grant based on financial need for students and their parents
who qualify as Pennsylvania state residents and who are accepted/enrolled in an
undergraduate program and enroll for at least six credits each semester. For State
Grant consideration, students are required to file either an initial FAFSA or a
Renewal FAFSA by May 1. Additional information on the Pennsylvania State Grant
can be found at www.pheaa.org.
158
Other State Grants
Certain states allow residents to take their state grants into Pennsylvania for study
at Villanova. Students are responsible for checking with the respective State Higher
Education Agency as to the correct application necessary for state grant
consideration.
Scholarships
Each year, the University receives applications for admission from a group of gifted
and talented individuals. In determining the ways in which the University will
award financial assistance, a priority is placed on providing support on the basis of a
student's demonstrated financial need.
In addition to need-based financial aid, the University provides financial assistance
on the basis of student's academic achievements and their proven leadership and
participation in activities outside of the classroom, in both their school and
community; the University has a particular commitment to enrolling academic and
civic leaders who are traditionally underrepresented on college campuses (e.g., low
income, first generation and multicultural students.)
Presidential Scholarship
The Presidential Scholarship is a renewable, merit-based award covering full
tuition, room, board (up to 19 meals-per-week plan), general fee, and the cost
of textbooks for eight consecutive semesters. Presidential Scholars are
transformational leaders both on and off campus who have demonstrated a love of
learning and a commitment to enhancing both their local and broader civic
communities. Villanova Presidential Scholars represent diverse intellectual, social,
ethic, and economic backgrounds. Each year, of the 28 Presidential Scholarships, 6
scholarships are reserved for candidates from historically underrepresented
groups; including African American/Black, Latino/Hispanic, American
Indian/Native Alaskan, Asian/Pacific Islander, first in their family to pursue a
college education, and low income (generally Pell Grant eligible) students.
While there are no minimum grade point average or standardized test score
requirements for Presidential Scholarship eligibility, the average high school GPA
among Presidential Scholarship finalists for the Class of 2017 was 4.26/4.00 on a
weighted scale, the average combined SAT score (critical reading + math) was
1470/1600, with ACT scores that were similar in competitiveness. The Selection
Committee takes a holistic approach in reviewing applicants and looks at multiple
criteria including academic achievement, civic engagement, creativity, expertise in a
particular field, leadership and resiliency.
In order to be considered for the Presidential Scholarship, students must first be
nominated by the chief academic officer of their high school (principal, president,
headmaster), guidance counselor, or an official school designee. They can also be
nominated by a representative from a home school entity or non-profit educational
organization dedicated to helping high school students with the college search
159
process. They then must submit a completed application for admission by
December 1. Upon nomination, students will be given further instruction on how to
apply for the Presidential Scholarship.

the end of the sixth semester of high school.
For the 2013-14 academic year, scholarships (beginning at $2,000 per year) were
distributed to 1,341 admitted students for a total of $6.9 million. The average, nonnegotiable scholarship amount was valued at $5,060 per year. Recipients of the
scholarship averaged a 4.19/4.00 GPA on a weighted scale and 1450/1600 on the
