The starting point
Morris College's merit aid runs through a deep catalog of named endowed scholarships — the headline freshman award is the $4,500/yr Luns C. Richardson Endowed Scholarship for 3.5+ GPA graduates — plus a Presidential Scholars Program for top-quarter-of-class seniors with no published dollar amount.
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.
