Decision sheet

Puerto Rico · Research checked 2026-06-07 · School research, not an aid offer

The starting point

DRAFT: Sagrado (San Juan, PR) pairs one genuinely automatic merit award — the $600 Sagrado Pre-Achievers credit for 3.50-GPA freshmen with a 3,500+ admission index — with a competitive donor-funded becas program (application window March 1-April 30, interview required) and need-linked programs (FEE, Achievers) where merit alone is not enough.

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.

Awards to discuss

First 3 of 4 recorded awards, in chapter display order. This is a selection, not a ranking. Read the full chapter for all awards. Amounts retain the original units and conditions; confirm the entering year with the school.

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?
