Automatic scholarship levels will not be reevaluated after receipt of a comprehensive financial aid package. Excellence Scholarships will be renamed to reflect donor-funded scholarships that align with students’ academic interests.
Talent scholarships range in value and require separate applications (and sometimes, performance submissions). Students selected to receive these awards will be expected to participate in events and programs as determined by the respective departments.
