In recognition of first-year applicants who have excelled academically while in high school, Fairfield University offers an extensive merit scholarship program. All qualified applicants will be considered for a scholarship. Typically, recipients have above 1300 on the SAT and have exceptionally strong records of achievement in high school, including honors and advanced placement coursework and extra-curricular involvement. Qualifications for a merit scholarship will vary from year to year depending on the size and strength of the applicant pool.

All awards are renewable provided the student maintains a 3.0 GPA and remains in good standing with Fairfield University.
