Rosemont College · Pennsylvania
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.
The website states plainly: 'Per the merger agreement with Villanova University, Rosemont College is no longer admitting new students.' The published merit awards are not available to new applicants.
The Cornelian is described only as 'a prestigious full tuition award.' Housing & meals ($14,745 in the 2025 cost table) and fees are not stated as covered.
Unlike the automatic merit scholarships, 'To apply, students must submit an additional application' and 'students must apply by January 15.'
Both awards require committing to live on campus ('when they commit to attending Rosemont as residential students'; 'and choose to live on campus').
The page warns 'a limited number of awards are available, and not all admitted eligible PTK members may receive this scholarship.'
DRAFT: No new students — admissions are closed under the Villanova merger agreement. The legacy policies favored students drawn to a low-sticker-price model with automatic merit consideration; current students retain their aid through the transition per the merger page link text.
Tuition / cost of attendance: Approximately $41,020 for 2026-2027. Source

Need-based, not merit.
No. Rosemont's site states that per the merger agreement with Villanova University, the college 'is no longer admitting new students.'
The only published scholarship deadline is for the Cornelian Scholarship: 'students must apply by January 15.' Other merit scholarships were automatic upon admission with no separate application.
The page states a range only: 'Merit Scholarships ranging from $2,000 to full tuition.' No GPA/test-score grid is published.
Rosemont is one of them. The cohort minority (82 schools) only awards one-year scholarships, which means the four-year value families assume on a brochure quote isn't guaranteed at every school.
Every claim is checked against Rosemont’s own published materials. Below is the full reference set.
