The short answer

Rosemont awards automatic merit on admission. Rosemont does not publish a GPA or test chart, so you cannot self-calculate the dollars.

What makes Rosemont different

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

Separate the two paths.

Some awards use published academic thresholds. Others have different selection criteria. A score chart does not describe every award at this school.

  1. Match the published criteria

    Use all requirements together, including residency and the entering class.

  2. Check the application dates

    Confirm the current admission and scholarship deadlines directly with the school.

  3. Know what happens next year

    Check renewal, credit requirements and how other aid affects the award.

The fine print / Three questions to carry forward

Before you count on it.

Does it apply to us? Confirm the entering year, residency and every eligibility condition.

Can we keep it? Check renewal GPA, credits and how long the award lasts.

Can we combine it? Ask how outside scholarships and other school awards change the offer.

What families often miss

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. Unlike the automatic merit scholarships, 'To apply, students must submit an additional application' and 'students must apply by January 15.'

  4. Both awards require committing to live on campus ('when they commit to attending Rosemont as residential students'; 'and choose to live on campus').

  5. The page warns 'a limited number of awards are available, and not all admitted eligible PTK members may receive this scholarship.'

Who this school may work for

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.

Published yearly cost: Approximately $41,020 for 2026-2027. Source

How Rosemont compares

  • 665 of 749 verified schools publish at least one four-year renewable merit award.

    Rosemont is one of them. The cohort minority (84 schools) only awards one-year scholarships, which means the four-year value families assume on a brochure quote isn't guaranteed at every school.
