SNHU
Decision sheet

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

The starting point

SNHU leads with low sticker price (online tuition $354/credit; '94% of full-time SNHU students were awarded grant or scholarship aid') rather than a published merit grid — campus scholarship details sit behind interactive page sections, and the clearest published merit award is a $3,000 International Merit Scholarship for new international master's students.

Selection beyond grades and scores. These awards are not recorded as automatic on grades and scores. Read each award's selection rules, application steps and dates. Meeting a minimum is not an award offer.

Awards to discuss

The 3 awards in this school's research. Amounts retain the original units and conditions; confirm the entering year with the school.

Campus and Online institutional scholarships (details not published in accessible text)

Amount not published · Published award terms

Not recorded as automatic on grades and scores. Read the selection rules.

Eligibility: SNHU's aid pages list scholarship categories ('Online & Campus Scholarships', 'Online Only', 'Campus Only') in expandable sections whose contents are not rendered in the page's accessible text; no amounts, stat cutoffs, or named-award terms could be read

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

Other terms: DRAFT GAP: SNHU's campus 'Grants, Scholarships and Loans' page and the 'Ways to Save' page both present scholarships in interactive accordions whose contents did not render; the named campus awards (e.g., a Presidential Scholarship referenced in search previews) could not be verified on an opened page and are NOT recorded here. Verify directly with Student Financial Services.

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?

Recorded stacking policy: No stacking or outside-scholarship displacement policy was visible on the pages opened. The international scholarship page does note that scholarship funds exceeding tuition and required fees may be taxable for international students.
