Transfer students are not eligible for merit-based scholarship programs. In determining who will receive our merit-based scholarships, the Office of Admission looks primarily at academic achievement\u2014financial need is not considered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once offered, students must maintain satisfactory academic progress (SAP) and be enrolled full time (at least 12 credits) to maintain renewal eligibility for the scholarships.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These awards are granted independent of financial need. If you receive a merit-based scholarship and are also eligible for need-based aid, your merit-based scholarship will be included in the aid provided to meet your financial need. Thus, any merit-based scholarships received will be coordinated with other need-based aid to help meet a student&#8217;s demonstrated financial need and will not be used to help reduce the family&#8217;s calculated contribution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All questions regarding eligibility and application procedures for merit-based scholarships should be directed to the Office of Admission.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When you apply for admission to Harvey Mudd as a first-year student, you may be considered for our merit-based scholarships.
