The starting point
A Philadelphia Jesuit university that reviews every applicant for merit automatically and guarantees a floor — students admitted through the Guaranteed Admission Program get at least a $30,000-over-four-years award plus a $5,000 excellence award — though it does not publish a public GPA/test dollar grid for its general University Scholarships.
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.
