Dean’S Graduate Merit Scholars

Eligibility criteria

The Dean’s Graduate Merit Award is a one-time award of a designated amount without respect to financial need. If financial need is demonstrated, this tuition award must be coordinated with, and may include, other sources of assistance in compliance with requirements of federal, state, and institutional financial eligibility. Students may be full or part time, however, if their actual tuition costs are less than the amount of the initial award, they are only eligible to receive up to the actual cost of tuition and other USD expenses. The amount of the award is not renewable; however, students may apply annually for a Dean’s Graduate Merit Scholarship. If you are determined eligible for this scholarship it will be awarded by your program. For questions about eligibility or if your program offers this scholarship, please reach out to them directly.
