Does Tulsa publish a GPA/test-score scholarship table for freshmen?

No. Tulsa states that 'all degree-seeking applicants are automatically and holistically considered for merit scholarships when they apply for admission,' but it does not publish a stat-banded dollar grid the way many peer privates do. The named awards with fixed amounts are the Presidential, National Merit, and specialty (music, IB, finance) scholarships.

What does the Presidential Scholarship cover and how do I get it?

It 'covers full tuition (excluding summers) for five years or until an undergraduate degree is earned.' It is competitive: you need an ACT superscore of 28+ or SAT 1300+, and you must submit a separate Presidential Scholarship Application with a resume and short answers plus complete a required campus visit, all by February 1. It does not cover room and board, and you must carry 15 credit hours per semester.

What do National Merit Semifinalists get at Tulsa?

Full tuition (excluding summers) for four years plus Tier I housing, with upgrades at the student's expense. Finalists may also receive a minimum $750 award from the National Merit organization. The package cannot be combined with other UTulsa scholarships and requires a 12-credit-hour minimum each semester.

Renewal risk profile

Tulsa's published renewal rules cluster around a 3.0 floor with no major-GPA gating, which is survivable for the typical freshman with steady study habits. The risk is non-renewal due to enrollment status (dropping below full-time), not GPA.

How Tulsa compares across our verified dataset

665 of 749 verified schools publish at least one four-year renewable merit award.
Tulsa is one of them. The cohort minority (84 schools) only awards one-year scholarships, which means the four-year value families assume on a brochure quote isn't guaranteed at every school.
132 of 749 verified schools publish a dedicated National Merit Finalist package.
Tulsa is one of them. NMF packages typically carry their own stacking and renewal carve-outs separate from the standard automatic merit ladder; confirm those before assuming the headline NMF value is final.
