Auburn University Competitive Merit Scholarships for Nonresidents

About this scholarship

Auburn University Competitive Merit Scholarships for Nonresidents are first-year undergraduate merit awards based on high school GPA and ACT or SAT superscore. Auburn's official first-year scholarship page states that no scholarship application is required for competitive merit scholarships, but the admission application, application fee, high school transcript, and official test scores must be complete by December 1. Published prior-year nonresident award ranges are $7,000 to $17,000 per year. The award is partial funding because it reduces cost but does not cover full tuition, student services fees, housing, meals, health insurance, books, travel, or personal expenses. Auburn's international admission page states that international applicants apply as international freshmen or transfers and must provide evaluated transcripts, English proficiency, financial support documents, and other required materials. International freshmen must submit ACT or SAT scores unless applying test optional under Auburn's stated rules, and test scores remain important for merit scholarship consideration. Competitive merit scholarships are renewable for up to eight semesters with a minimum 3.0 Auburn GPA and 24 Auburn credit hours earned per academic year.
