Does Rice offer merit or nonneed based scholarships?
Yes, we have a small number of nonneed based merit scholarships. There is no separate application to be considered for these scholarships; the scholarship committee considers all admitted students for our scholarships on the basis of the students application for admission. Other merit scholarships include athletic and Navy ROTC scholarships. More information about merit scholarships at Rice can be found on our website. Note that all international freshman applicants who are admitted will also be considered for merit awards based on academic and individual excellence.
