Merit awards are made at the discretion of the scholarship committee. General eligibility requirements for a scholarship do not guarantee admission.
The Scholarship committee recalculates the student's GPA using the following core courses form grades 9, 10, and 11: English, math, science, history/social studies, and foreign language. This recalculated GPA along with standardized test scores are used to determine scholarship eligibility.
Students will automatically be considered for a Merit Scholarship upon acceptance to Marist College. No more than one merit award will be awarded to each student.
Students who reside and will graduate from a high school in Dutchess, Orange, or Ulster County will be awarded a Hudson Valley Scholarship of equal value.
All Merit Scholarships are renewable. After the first semester of the freshman year, eligibility is contingent upon the recipient meeting the specified 2.85 GPA requirement each semester.
Financial need is not required to be eligible for merit scholarships.
Scholarship amounts apply to freshman entering Marist College beginning in the Fall semester.
