Saint Louis University Merit-Based Scholarships

About this scholarship

Saint Louis University Merit-Based Scholarships are undergraduate awards based on admission application review. SLU states that merit scholarships are based on the application for admission and appear in the student's financial aid offer. Prospective freshmen are urged to complete the online application for freshman admission by December 1 to be automatically considered for SLU's merit-based scholarships; no separate application is required for the core academic merit awards. The scholarship table lists named awards such as the Billiken, Ignatian, University, and Vice Presidents' scholarships, with the Vice Presidents' Scholarship valued up to $19,500 per semester for up to 10 semesters. The award is partial funding because merit scholarships are subject to award-specific limits and do not guarantee full tuition, fees, housing, meals, insurance, books, travel, or personal expenses. International undergraduate students are included on SLU's types-of-aid page, which states that international students are not eligible for need-based grants. Renewal requires maintaining the required GPA, remaining enrolled full time, and not exceeding the maximum award term.
