Rosemont
Decision sheet

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

The starting point

DRAFT: Rosemont historically used a transparent low-price/low-discount model with automatic merit awards of $2,000 up to full tuition — but per its merger with Villanova University, it is no longer admitting new students.

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 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.

Rosemont Merit Scholarships

$2,000-Full tuition · Published coverage or package

Recorded as automatic on academic criteria; all conditions apply.

Eligibility: All admitted students automatically considered; award letter based on FAFSA and high school GPA per the financial aid pages

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

Other terms: No public GPA/test grid is published — the page gives only the $2,000-to-full-tuition range. Do not assume specific tiers. Admissions are now closed (Villanova merger).

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?

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.
