SCU Presidential at Entry Scholarship (Santa Clara University)

The Presidential at Entry Scholarship is Santa Clara University's top merit award for first-year students who demonstrate the leadership qualities the university's president identifies as central to its mission. It covers full tuition, renewable for 12 consecutive academic quarters (indexed to tuition increases) as long as the student maintains a 3.5 cumulative GPA and satisfactory academic progress. Recipients are selected automatically at the time of admission from the regular application — no separate scholarship application, essay, or interview is required — though submitting the CSS Profile and FAFSA is recommended for maximum aid consideration.
