The starting point
Every admitted George Fox first-year automatically gets a renewable, GPA-based Merit Scholarship ($18,000-$24,000/year for Fall 2026) with no minimum GPA to receive or keep it, and can layer on up to $5,000 more in university-funded awards (the Scholarship Summit interview adds up to $3,000/year, a campus visit adds $1,000/year).
More than one award path. Some awards use published academic thresholds. Others have different selection criteria. A score chart does not describe every award at this school.

George Fox Merit Scholarship (First-Year, Fall 2026)
$18,000-$24,000 per year · Published range
Recorded as automatic on academic criteria; all conditions apply.
GPA: Awarded on a high-school GPA grid: 4.00+ = $24,000; 3.80-3.99 = $22,000; 3.50-3.79 = $20,000; 3.25-3.49 = $19,000; 3.00-3.24 = $18,000. Students admitted with a GPA below 3.0 still qualify for a merit scholarship (amount not published).
Eligibility: Awarded automatically to every admitted student; the Admissions office determines the award at the time of admission.
Renewal: Per the financial-aid grants page, the Merit Scholarship 'is renewable every year you're at George Fox' and 'there's no minimum GPA required to receive or maintain it.' No renewal GPA cliff stated.
Other terms: The grid page is labeled 'Fall 2026 Applicants.' Below-3.0 admits 'still qualify for a merit scholarship' but the page does not publish that amount — labeled, not invented. A separate web search summary cited an older $12,000-$23,000 range; the live grid page (this excerpt) supersedes it.

George Fox Merit Scholarship (Transfer, Fall 2026 & Spring 2027)
$8,000-$16,000 per year · Published range
Recorded as automatic on academic criteria; all conditions apply.
GPA: Awarded on a college-GPA grid: 3.75+ = $16,000; 3.25-3.74 = $14,000; 3.00-3.24 = $11,000; 2.75-2.99 = $9,000; Under 2.75 = $8,000.
Eligibility: Transfer students; awarded automatically at admission.
Renewal: Same Merit Scholarship program as first-years — 'renewable every year you're at George Fox' with 'no minimum GPA required to receive or maintain it.'
Other terms: Transfer grid is separate from the first-year grid.

Scholarship Summit
$1,000 to $3,000 per year · Published range
Not recorded as automatic on grades and scores. Read the selection rules.
Eligibility: An interview experience for admitted incoming first-year and transfer students; register via the emailed link. $1,000-$3,000 for Early Action applicants (apply by Nov. 1); $1,000-$2,000 for Priority Decision applicants (apply by Feb. 1).
Renewal: Grants page describes it as up to an additional $3,000 'on top of your Merit Scholarship, also renewable each year.'
Other terms: Stacks on top of the Merit Scholarship but counts toward the $5,000 university-funded stacking cap. NOTE: the Scholarship Summit landing page now says it is 'only available to incoming fall 2027 first-year and transfer students,' while the admissions scholarships page still shows the Fall 2026 merit grid — a seasonal cycle transition; treat the interview/amount mechanic as stable, but confirm the active cycle's exact dates.
