Common merit-aid mistakes at Agnes Scott

  1. The award is set on the weighted GPA from your official high school transcript 'at the time of application' — grades earned after you apply do not move you up the grid.

  2. Applicants who submit the complete Common Application and supporting materials by EA II (Jan 15) are automatically considered for the $26,000-$32,000 merit scholarships.

  3. Perry Presidential and Goizueta cover full tuition + housing + dining but are competitive: Perry requires an invitation and an essay by Feb 6; Goizueta requires a separate application by Jan 30 and goes to a single student per year.

  4. That figure is tuition + housing/dining + activity & orientation fees; books ($1,000), personal expenses ($1,000), and required student health insurance (~$2,800 if not otherwise covered) are additional.

  5. The Lettie Pate Whitehead Scholarship is need-based, restricted to nine southern states, requires self-identifying as Christian, and obligates recipients to attend service-based events.

How Agnes Scott compares across our verified dataset

  • 8 of 272 verified schools in our dataset use no-displacement displacement.

    Agnes Scott is in the small minority (8 schools share this category). That framing matters when comparing peer schools that may publish the policy differently or not at all.

  • 247 of 272 verified schools publish at least one four-year renewable merit award.

    Agnes Scott is one of them. The cohort minority (25 schools) only awards one-year scholarships, which means the four-year value families assume on a brochure quote isn't guaranteed at every school.
