Mason Merit Scholarships

Mason Merit Scholarships

Award amount
Merit award amounts are listed on student award letters. Awards are applied to tuition over four years of undergraduate study (maximum of eight semesters), beginning with the semester in which the student is admitted. Merit awards do not need to be repaid.

Renewal criteria
University and Early Identification Scholars must maintain a minimum 3.0 cumulative GPA in order to renew their scholarship annually. Renewal of Admission Scholarships requires a minimum 2.75 cumulative GPA annually.  Students who fail to meet this requirement will be notified of their award cancellation via email by the OSFA Scholarship Manager.

Enrollment requirements
Awards require full-time enrollment (minimum of 12 credits per semester).

Change of Residency
Merit awards may be reduced or cancelled if student residency status changes at any point in their academic career.

Transfer of scholarship
Matriculated students may request deferment of a merit-based admissions scholarship for one semester in the event that:

• They are enrolled less than full-time standing; or
• They are participating in co-op or internship; or
• They are taking a leave of absence for any other reason other than low academic performance

The student must notify the Office of Student Financial Aid & Scholarships for approval before leaving and upon re-entry.
