Heidelberg University Need-Based University Grant

About this scholarship

Heidelberg University in Tiffin, Ohio may add a University Grant to the financial-aid package of an undergraduate with exceptional financial need. The current official grants page does not promise a standard $1,000 payment: award amounts vary according to the student’s need, Heidelberg’s packaging policy, and available institutional funds. There is no separate scholarship contest or stand-alone grant form. A prospective student first submits Heidelberg’s admission application, creates the required federal student-aid account, and files the Free Application for Federal Student Aid using Heidelberg’s federal school code 003048. The Financial Aid Office then uses the FAFSA information together with the student’s other assistance to determine whether a University Grant can be included. Applicants should file promptly even if they are unsure whether they will qualify, because Heidelberg requires the FAFSA for aid beyond its admission-based merit scholarship. University gift aid cannot exceed current tuition, and renewal of financial-aid sources depends on satisfactory academic progress. The university defines that standard as completing at least 67 percent of attempted hours per academic year and holding at least a 2.0 GPA by the end of the sophomore year. Because the amount is individualized, students should rely on the formal aid offer—not a directory estimate—when comparing costs.
