Lafayette's top merit awards go to incoming first-years at the top of the applicant pool: the Marquis Fellowship covers full tuition and the Marquis Scholarship covers half tuition, both growing with tuition increases, while the related Cur Non Scholarships award $17,500 to $31,500 a year. Every applicant is automatically considered with no separate scholarship application, though an admissions interview is encouraged. Recipients keep the award for up to eight semesters by maintaining a 3.0 GPA.
