What kind of scholarships and Financial Aid does URI offer?
Merit-based aid is offered to freshman applicants each year in the form of Scholarships. Amounts range depending on your class rank/GPA and standardized test scores. There is no separate application for the Merit Scholarship. If you wish to be considered, we must have a completed admission application in our office by December 1st, our Early Action (non-binding) deadline. Applications and information received after December 15th will not be considered for Early Action or the Centennial Scholarship. Need-based aid is available by filling out the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). While there is no absolute deadline for Financial Aid, you should file by March 1st to ensure maximum availability of funds. URI Enrollment Services processes all need-based Financial Aid and has a lot of helpful information about Loans, Scholarships, and Awards. Visit them at www.uri.edu/es or call 401.874.9500.
