Does Tufts University Offer Merit Scholarships?

So Tufts is pretty high on my dream school list, but I'll be honest, the price tag is a little scary. Just wondering, does Tufts offer any merit scholarships that could help offset the cost for students?

a year ago

Tufts University predominantly offers financial aid based on need rather than merit. They provide financial assistance packages after assessing each family's financial situation through the FAFSA and CSS Profile. However, there are limited merit scholarships available such as the Tufts National Merit Scholarship, which is $2,000 for Finalists who list Tufts as their first choice with the National Merit Scholarship Corporation.

Besides this, there are not many merit-based opportunities directly from the university. Your best bet is to look for external scholarships from private organizations, community groups, or corporations that you can bring to any institution you attend. Always keep an eye on the financial aid section of Tufts' official website for the most current information or potential changes to their scholarship offerings. Additionally, make sure your FAFSA and CSS Profile are submitted accurately and on time to be considered for the maximum amount of need-based aid.
