I am seriously considering applying to Tulane, and I'm curious about their scholarship opportunities. Does Tulane offer any merit-based scholarships? If yes, what are the application requirements and deadlines? Any feedback would be greatly appreciated!
Yes, Tulane University does offer merit scholarships. These scholarships are automatically considered with the submission of your admission application, meaning no separate application is required. However, you must submit your complete application for admission by the Early Action (November 15) or Early Decision (November 1) deadline to be considered for these scholarships.
Tulane's merit scholarships are quite competitive. They range from partial to full tuition scholarships and include the Deans' Honor Scholarship, the Paul Tulane Award, and the Community Service Fellowship among others. It's important to note that these scholarships consider not only academic achievements but also extracurricular activities, leadership roles, and community service.
An interesting note on the Paul Tulane Award – this is a full tuition scholarship but requires a separate application, which typically consists of short essays. The deadline to apply for the Paul Tulane Award is usually in December.
As with any scholarship, specific requirements can change from year to year, so it's always a good idea to check Tulane's website or contact their financial aid office for the most up-to-date information. Happy applying!
