University Financial Assistance Programs
Sacred Heart University’s personal approach and strong commitment to financial aid helps our students achieve their educational goals. To provide further access to families as they invest in a Sacred Heart University education, a variety of university financial assistance programs have been designed which recognize students’ academic and extracurricular achievements as well as the financial needs of our families.
Merit Scholarship Programs
All new students are considered for merit scholarships as part of the admission application review process (a separate scholarship application is not required). Merit scholarships are awarded by the Scholarship Review Committee and are based on the review of each student’s high school transcript, class rank and extracurricular achievements. Course selection and overall grade point average are weighed heavily in the review process. Sacred Heart University’s Test-Optional Admissions Policy does apply to the review for merit scholarships. However, if candidates feel their test scores provide further evidence of academic ability and potential, or to be considered for the honors program, they may wish to submit them to the Office of Undergraduate Admission. Merit scholarships are renewable for four years (eight semesters) of full-time undergraduate study provided the student maintains the required cumulative GPA established for their specific scholarship. Merit scholarships are only awarded at the time of admission. There should be no expectation that the amount will increase in subsequent years. Scholarships are limited and offered on a first-come, first-served basis.
The merit scholarship categories include the following: President’s Excellence Award, Trustee Scholarship, College Scholarship and Conley Award ranging from $6,000 to $21,000.
Sacred Heart University recognizes the well-deserved honor of the High School Valedictorian or Salutatorian with a Scholarship of $2,500.
Students who are accepted into the Honors Program are eligible to receive an additional Thomas More Honors Scholarship of $2,000.
Students graduating from a Catholic High School are eligible to receive additional grant.
Students transferring to Sacred Heart University may be eligible for academic scholarships based on academic achievements at their previous post-secondary institutions. Programs include: Phi Theta Kappa, Transfer Achievement Award, and Connecticut Community College Scholarship.
Note: Scholarship programs, criteria, and amounts are subject to change.
Activity-Based Programs
Sacred Heart University offers activity-based grant and scholarship programs for full-time undergraduate students who participate in various student life programs on campus. Awards are based on level of activity and participation, and include programs such as Intercollegiate Athletics, Community Service, Christian Leadership, Pioneer Bands, University Choir, Theatre Arts, University Dance, Student Leadership, Undergraduate Research Assistants, Classroom Learning Assistants, Resident Assistants, and others. Award ranges vary and annual renewal of these grants requires continued participation in the grant-awarding program.
Need-Based Programs
In our continued effort to assist families in their educational investment, Sacred Heart University offers need-based grants that provide students with affordability and access, through the Sacred Heart University Grant-In-Aid, Bishop Curtis Award, and Pioneer Grant programs. Consistent with our historical mission, the University has maintained its commitment to the surrounding area by offering the following:
