About this scholarship
Incoming full-time first-year undergraduates at Quinnipiac University are automatically considered for academic merit scholarships based on overall academic achievement. Recipients are typically students who ranked in the top 40% of their high school class and/or scored 1100 or higher on the SAT (reading/writing plus math) or 22 or higher on the ACT composite. If scores are submitted, Quinnipiac uses the highest score.
Awards renew each year at the same amount while the student remains a full-time undergraduate and meets the renewal criteria in the acceptance letter. Academic scholarships are offered only to incoming students.
No separate scholarship application is required. Merit awards are noted in the letter of acceptance.
