Straight from the aid office
What St. Lawrence's aid office says
Per the Financial Aid Office, St. Lawrence University, August 2026. How we verify
- Referral to Admissions for scholarship/GPA info
Can the Financial Aid Office answer the GPA and scholarship award questions?
The Financial Aid Office is forwarding the question to Admissions because Admissions awards these scholarships and can provide more information on the GPA details.
“We are forwarding your message to Admissions as they award these scholarships and can provide more insight on the GPA information.”
- Merit aid determination method
Does St. Lawrence use set GPA/test score bands to determine merit aid amounts?
St. Lawrence uses a holistic review process for merit aid and does not have set bands mapping GPA/test scores to specific award amounts; admissions reviews GPA, course rigor, and test scores (if submitted) to determine aid.
“Therefore, we do not have set bands that map the amount of merit-based aid a particular student will receive. Instead, admissions will review all materials included with the application - such as individual GPAs, types of courses taken, and (if submitted) test scores - to determine what aid a student receives.”
