Decision sheet

Maryland · Research checked 2026-07-02 · School research, not an aid offer

The starting point

Jesuit private in Baltimore with three automatic stats-driven merit tiers ($35K–$41K) that renew at a lenient 2.0 cumulative GPA and apply to tuition only.

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.

Awards to discuss

First 3 of 4 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.

Presidential Scholarship

$39,000–$41,000 per year (2026-27) · Published range

Recorded as automatic on academic criteria; all conditions apply.

Eligibility: Top automatic tier; awarded based on GPA, course rigor, and (optional) test scores at admission. No separate application.

Renewal: Renewable for up to 8 semesters with full-time enrollment (12+ credits/term) and a 2.0+ cumulative GPA.

Ask before you decide

  1. Which entering-year policy and residency category apply to us? What are the admission and scholarship deadlines?
  2. What grades and credits are required to renew, and for how many terms?
  3. How would other school awards or outside scholarships change the offer?

Recorded stacking policy: Outside scholarships are layered onto the package 'in the most favorable way possible' — they first cover any remaining balance, then reduce self-help (loans/work-study) before institutional grants are touched.

The research date is not a guarantee that a policy still applies. Confirm current amounts, deadlines and conditions with the school before making a financial decision.
