For Entering Freshmen
MERIT BASED SCHOLARSHIPS FOR INCOMING STUDENTS FOR FALL 2010
Ramapo College automatically considers all applicants for a merit scholarship award. The recommended deadline for merit scholarship consideration for the fall 2010 semester is December 15, 2009.
Students who apply by December 15, 2009 and are in the top 10 percent of their high school class with SAT scores of at least 1230 in Critical Reading and Mathematics and in the case of the Leadership and Community Service Award have a record of leadership and/or school or community service activities will be considered for a merit based scholarship.
Ramapo College also considers students for merit based scholarships based on their potential to become active members of our community. All aspects of a students application are considered including the above listed criteria as well as specialized talents, extracurricular activities, awards, honors, and criteria such as socioeconomic background, attendance in New Jersey's Abbott School Districts, and the relevance of the response to the required essay question.
*Funding levels reflect the number of applications received during the 08-09 application period. Unfortunately due to an increase in applications and limited funding the college may be unable to offer every student that fits the above criteria a merit based scholarship.
In the fall of 2010 Ramapo College will be offering the following awards:
- Presidential Scholarship*
$72,000 scholarship. ($18,000 per year for four years) - Provost Scholarship*
$40,000 scholarship ($10,000 per year for four years) - Dean's Scholarship*
$24,000 scholarship ($6,000 per year for four years) - Leadership and Community Service Award
$12,000 scholarship ($3,000 per year for four years)
* If you are a New Jersey resident, a portion of the funding for this scholarship may be from the Outstanding Scholarship Recruitment Program (OSRP).
Awards are continued for four years provided that students maintain the required number of credits and grade point average.
Students who apply after December 15 may still be considered provided funding remains available.
No separate application for the above listed awards is necessary.
