Fairfield University Merit Scholarships

About this scholarship

Fairfield University Merit Scholarships are renewable undergraduate scholarships awarded during the admission review. Fairfield states that all students admitted to the university are automatically considered for merit scholarships and that there is no separate scholarship application. The scholarship and grants page lists annual merit scholarship values from $15,000 to $28,000. Awards are selected based on the admission application, with review of academic performance and the broader applicant profile. These scholarships are partial funding because they reduce tuition but do not cover the full cost of tuition, fees, housing, meals, books, health insurance, travel, and personal expenses. The scholarships can be especially useful for international students because the official international admissions page directs international first-year applicants through the same undergraduate application process, and admitted international students are part of the merit review when eligible. Awards are generally renewable for up to four years as long as the student maintains the required academic progress and full-time enrollment conditions. Students should complete the undergraduate admission application by the chosen admission round to receive admission and scholarship review in time for enrollment and visa planning.
