The starting point
Salve Regina awards holistic, automatically-considered academic scholarships with no published dollar grid, plus a donor-funded OCHRE program (up to full tuition for invited Ambassadors), a full-cost-of-attendance SEAS STEM package, and a published $25,000-$28,500/year Rhode Island Guarantee for CCRI transfers.
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.

Rhode Island Guarantee (CCRI transfer scholarship)
$25,000-$28,500 · Published range
Recorded as automatic on academic criteria; all conditions apply.
GPA: 3.0 minimum (CCRI cumulative)
Eligibility: Associate degree (complete or anticipated) from the Community College of Rhode Island; nursing, education and dual/accelerated programs are not included; guaranteed admission, no application fee
Renewal: Annual scholarship for the student's remaining two years; renewal conditions beyond the two-year term are not published on the page.
Other terms: $28,500 per year for on-campus residents; $25,000 per year for off-campus residents. All students admitted through the program are eligible, with published GPA/degree criteria and no separate competition, so automaticOnStats is true.

Academic Scholarships
Amount not published · Published award terms
Not recorded as automatic on grades and scores. Read the selection rules.
GPA: Not published — based on high school GPA, course selection, class rank · SAT: Optional; considered if submitted · ACT: Optional; considered if submitted
Eligibility: All new undergraduate students automatically considered at the time of acceptance; no separate application; holistic review; no published dollar/stat grid
Renewal: Renewable for up to four years as long as you maintain the required cumulative GPA (set in a signed scholarship agreement; specific GPA not published) and remain enrolled full-time in an undergraduate program. GPA evaluated at the end of each academic year; one-time probationary semester if you fall below, then loss of the scholarship.
Other terms: Automatic CONSIDERATION for all new undergraduates, but the review is holistic and the school publishes no GPA/test award grid and no dollar amounts, so automaticOnStats is false. Per the FAQ, the amount is set for four consecutive years and cannot be increased.
