Maryville
Decision sheet

Tennessee · Research checked 2026-06-07 · School research, not an aid offer

The starting point

Maryville guarantees every admitted student who lives on campus at least $20,000 in scholarships and aid (the Scots Legacy Award) — with on-campus merit running $16,000 to full tuition — but moving off campus drops you to a lower merit amount.

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

The 3 awards in this school's research. Amounts retain the original units and conditions; confirm the entering year with the school.

Scots Legacy Award

$20,000 (minimum, in scholarships and aid) · Published award terms

Recorded as automatic on academic criteria; all conditions apply.

Eligibility: Receive admission into Maryville College; complete the FAFSA (MC code 003505); MUST live on-campus to receive at least $20,000 in scholarships and aid. Automatic on acceptance — 'no additional scholarship or financial aid application is required.' Open to all accepted on-campus students regardless of citizenship status (including DACA/undocumented via Equal Chance for Education, and international students).

Renewal: Students who continue to be enrolled full-time (at least 12 credit hours) and maintain academic progress toward a degree completion will continue to receive funding.

Other terms: Floor award, not a stack-on: students who qualify for higher merit get the larger amount instead. Students who live or move off-campus 'will be re-awarded to the off-campus merit scholarship amount.'

On-Campus Merit Scholarships (range)

$16,000-Full tuition · Published coverage or package

Not recorded as automatic on grades and scores. Read the selection rules.

GPA: Not published on the pages that rendered (the first-year scholarships detail page did not load)

Eligibility: Students who submit additional transcripts and/or test scores qualifying them for higher merit 'will receive the largest scholarship amount they are eligible to receive.' A separate off-campus merit scholarship schedule exists (amounts not retrieved).

Renewal: Per the Scots Legacy FAQ, continued funding requires full-time enrollment (12+ credit hours) and academic progress toward degree completion.

Other terms: Maryville publishes the range ('Our on-campus scholarships range from $16,000 to full-tuition!') on multiple pages; the per-tier grid lives on the first-year scholarships page, which returned no content in this session — do not invent tiers.

Competitive Scholarships, Fellowships and Awards

Amount not published · Published award terms

Not recorded as automatic on grades and scores. Read the selection rules.

Eligibility: Separate application/competition required. Includes leadership and talent awards (music, art, theatre) and the Bonner Scholars program (scholarship assistance in exchange for community service), per the financial aid overview.

Renewal: Not marked as renewable in this record. Ask the school whether renewal is available.

Other terms: Winners either stack these on top of the Scots Legacy Award or have the Scots Legacy replaced by the highest merit scholarship they're eligible for (see stackingPolicy).

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: State/federal aid from the FAFSA and Maryville's competitive scholarships/fellowships can stack on top of the Scots Legacy Award — OR the Scots Legacy is replaced by the highest merit scholarship the student qualifies for (largest-award logic, not unlimited stacking). Total scholarships and need-based aid cannot exceed the cost of attendance.
