The fine print

Aid capHard $77,532 cost-of-attendance ceiling

Institutional aid at Beloit College cannot push the package past $77,532. Big outside wins can mathematically reduce institutional grant once the ceiling is reached.

What makes Beloit College different

Beloit centers merit on a tiered academic ladder (Presidential, Dean's, Eaton) plus Trustee transfer scholarships and named talent awards in music, theatre, dance and design.

More than one award path

Separate the two paths.

Some awards use published academic thresholds. Others have different selection criteria. A score chart does not describe every award at this school.

  1. Match the published criteria

    Use all requirements together, including residency and the entering class.

  2. Check the application dates

    Confirm the current admission and scholarship deadlines directly with the school.

  3. Know what happens next year

    Check renewal, credit requirements and how other aid affects the award.

The fine print / Three questions to carry forward

Before you count on it.

Does it apply to us? Confirm the entering year, residency and every eligibility condition.

Can we keep it? Check renewal GPA, credits and how long the award lasts.

Can we combine it? Ask how outside scholarships and other school awards change the offer.

If your student brings another scholarship

Beloit allows students to stack outside scholarships only up to the cost of tuition, not the full cost of attendance; as long as combined aid stays within tuition costs, the Beloit scholarship is not reduced.

Verified policy language (2026-07-02): In order to best serve our students in their academic pursuits, we allow students to stack scholarship programs to up the cost of tuition. In most cases, this means that winning outside scholarships will not impact your Beloit scholarship!
