    • Policies

      General Information

      All admitted students are automatically considered for all applicable scholarship programs. All scholarships are awarded regardless of financial need and are renewable annually for up to eight semesters provided student maintains Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP).

      Sarofim School & Performance awards have additional requirements as indicated in the award letter.

      When demonstrated financial need is greater than the academic scholarship value, the scholarship will become part of the overall need-based award.

      Students may take the highest combination of their evidence-based reading and writing and math scores from separate test dates when calculating SAT scores.

      When an official class rank is provided by the high school, it will be used to determine scholarship eligibility regardless of grade point average. When a high school has a no-rank policy, other factors will be used to determine scholarship eligibility including, but not limited to, grade distribution information for that specific school and/or grade point averages. When the high school ranks specific segments of their graduating class - such as only ranking the top 10 percent - it will be assumed that an unranked student does not fall into that category for merit consideration regardless of grade point average. In all cases, Southwestern reserves the right to recalculate a student’s eligibility for merit scholarships using a consistent, uniform, internal grade point average calculation that may exclude non-academic coursework.

      A student may receive only one of the following awards: Brown Scholarship, Cody Scholarship, Mood Scholarship, Ruter Scholarship, McKenzie Scholarship, Southwestern Award, University Award, Sarofim Scholar Award. Where a student qualifies for more than one of these awards, that student will receive only the award with the highest dollar amount. Southwestern merit scholarships and grants cannot exceed tuition.

      Southwestern University Stacking Policy

      The total amount of Southwestern University-funded merit or need-based scholarships, awards, and/or grants awarded to a student will not exceed tuition. Institutional need-based grants are subject to adjustment or replacement to accommodate the addition or increase of other Southwestern-funded award(s), up to tuition.

      NCAA Division III Student-Athlete Statement
