Decision sheet
Pennsylvania · Research checked 2026-07-02 · School research, not an aid offer
The starting point
Bryn Mawr offers a single, holistic Bryn Mawr Merit Scholarship of up to $45,000/year — automatically considered, awarded only at admission, non-negotiable — alongside a commitment to meet 100% of demonstrated need.
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.

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: Treatment of outside scholarships explicitly differs by aid type or program; see the sourced policy excerpt for the split.
