    Scholarships

    Merit Scholarship Programs

    • All new students are considered for academic scholarships as part of the admission application review process (a separate scholarship application is not required). Merit scholarships are awarded by the Scholarship Review Committee and are based on the review of each student’s high school transcript and class rank. 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 submit them to the Undergraduate Admissions.

    Merit scholarships are renewable for four years (eight semesters) of full-time undergraduate study provided the student maintains the required cumulative GPA established for their specific scholarship. Merit scholarships are only awarded at the time of admission. 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.
    Merit scholarships range from $6,000 to $20,000. Programs include:

    • President's Excellence Award
    • Trustee Scholarship
    • College Scholarship
    • Conley Award

    Transfer students may be eligible for Merit scholarships based on academic achievements at their previous post-secondary institutions. Programs include:

    • Phi Theta Kappa
    • Transfer Achievement Award
    • Community College Scholarship

    Activity-Based Programs

    • Sacred Heart University offers activity-based grant and scholarship programs for full-time undergraduate students who participate in various student life programs on campus. Awards are based on level of activity and participation and include programs such as Intercollegiate Athletics, Community Service, Christian Leadership, Pioneer Bands, University Choir, Theatre Arts, University Dance, Student Leadership, Undergraduate Research Assistants, Classroom Learning Assistants, Resident Assistants and others. Award amounts vary and annual renewal of these grants requires continued participation in the grant-awarding program.

    Need-Based Programs

    • Sacred Heart University awards institutional need-based assistance to students based on preliminary data gathered through the CSS Profile. We also require the completion of the FAFSA form so that students may be awarded their federal/state grant and loan eligibility.
