Emory University offers partial to full merit-based scholarships as part of the Emory University Scholar Programs. Scholar programs are more than just merit scholarships. They empower students through resources and support to reach their full potential and make an impact on the university, Atlanta, and the world beyond.
Scholarships are renewable for a total of eight regular academic year semesters of undergraduate study, provided students maintain high standards of personal and academic excellence and meet semester and annual requirements of their program (details provided upon acceptance).
There are 3 categories of scholarship programs:
- Emory College Woodruff Scholars
2. Goizetta Scholars Program
3. Oxford College Scholars Program
Eligibility
Applicants should be students applying for Bachelors degree programs at Emory University. All students, regardless of citizenship, can be considered for the scholar programs. Go to official website for eligibility requirements specific to each scholarship.
Application process
To be considered for any and all scholar programs, you must select one of the three admission decision plans (Early Decision I, Early Decision II, or Regular Decision) and submit all required application materials by the deadline. Those applying Early Decision I must apply by November 1.
You also must answer “yes” to the question on your application that says, “Do you wish to be considered for merit scholarships?”
Selection process
Roughly 8,000-10,000 students apply to be Scholars each year. Out of that, 175–200 students are selected as Scholar Finalists. Finalists are required to attend an on-campus Scholars Finalists Visit held in the spring. Finalists are brought to campus at no expense to the student.Taking place over several days, the visit includes activities and interviews designed to help finalists become better acquainted with Emory University and the distinct opportunities available for them here. Applicants who are not selected as finalists for a program are still fully reviewed for admission under their selected application plan and will also automatically be considered for other smaller merit-based scholarships.
The Scholar selection process is completely separate from the financial aid process. When a student is eligible for both merit scholarships and financial aid, merit scholarships are awarded first. Students who applied for financial aid may also be eligible for need-based grants and loans if there is remaining need beyond the merit scholarship award.
Application deadline
November 15th (Early Decision I applicants should apply by November 1.)
