The starting point
Stonehill's only publicly-priced merit award is the Catholic High School Scholarship, which automatically gives every admitted U.S. Catholic-high-school graduate $25,000-$40,000 per year (a stated commitment of $100,000 or more over four years); its three named admission merit awards (Shields Merit, Stonehill Scholarship, Founders Award) are real but publish no dollar figures.
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.

Catholic High School Scholarship
$25,000-$40,000 per year · Published range
Recorded as automatic on academic criteria; all conditions apply.
Eligibility: All graduates from Catholic high schools in the United States who are offered admission to Stonehill. Awarded automatically upon acceptance; no separate application required unless need-based aid is sought. Not combinable with another Stonehill scholarship/grant program. Division I recruited student-athletes are excluded.
Renewal: Renewable for all four years for students who remain in good standing at the College.
Other terms: This is the only Stonehill merit award with publicly stated dollar figures. It is automatic on admission for U.S. Catholic-high-school graduates and is the school's headline 'commitment of $100,000 or more over 4 years.' Students cannot also hold one of the other named merit awards (it is one program, not a stack).

Shields Merit Scholarship
Amount not published · Published award terms
Not recorded as automatic on grades and scores. Read the selection rules.
Eligibility: Competitive; eligibility established on an individual basis, driven primarily by overall academic achievement, rank in class, rigor of curriculum, and the student's cost of attendance as a resident or commuter. Awarded at the time of admission. Division I recruited student-athletes are not eligible.
Renewal: All merit-based awards are renewable for up to four years provided the student maintains a cumulative GPA of at least 2.00 and Satisfactory Academic Progress.
Other terms: Named as one of the three admission-time merit scholarships beginning with the class of 2026, but Stonehill does NOT publish a dollar amount for the Shields award on any official page reviewed. Amount must be confirmed with the admission/financial-aid office. A change from resident to commuter reduces the merit scholarship by approximately 20%.
