What criteria does BYU use to award new freshman academic scholarships?
The Financial Aid and Scholarship Office awards academic, need-based, and private scholarships. In each category, we rank candidates by the appropriate indicators. Then, beginning at the top of the ordered list, we award scholarships until funds are exhausted. Though generous, available funds are insufficent to recognize all worthy and capable students who have demonstrated a serious commitment to spiritual and intellectual development.
