The starting point
Albertus Magnus gives every admitted first-year a named merit scholarship currently listed at $20,000-$33,000 per year — marketed as the 'Albertus Guarantee' of at least $40,000 in scholarships — plus stackable add-on awards for Catholic-school graduates, legacies, Honors Program invitees, and extracurricular participation, but only one core merit award per student and no published GPA/test grid.
Selection beyond grades and scores. These awards are not recorded as automatic on grades and scores. Read each award's selection rules, application steps and dates. Meeting a minimum is not an award offer.
Awards to discuss
First 3 of 8 recorded awards, in chapter display order. This is a selection, not a ranking. Read the full chapter for all awards. Amounts retain the original units and conditions; confirm the entering year with the school.

Ask before you decide
- Which entering-year policy and residency category apply to us? What are the admission and scholarship deadlines?
- What grades and credits are required to renew, and for how many terms?
- How would other school awards or outside scholarships change the offer?
Recorded stacking policy: One core merit award only, but designated 'Select Awards' (St. Catherine of Siena, St. Dominic, Legacy, DeRicci Honors, Pillar PTK) explicitly stack on top of it. Outside scholarships do not replace College aid but can impact federal and state eligibility, and total aid is capped at the COA budget.
