The starting point
DRAFT: Husson bills itself as New England's lowest-priced NECHE-accredited private university and awards Fall 2026 merit scholarships automatically at acceptance — but only the highest-level scholarship applies, the application deadline is January 1, 2026, and athletic money does not exist (D-III).
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 5 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.
