Requirements for Emory University Undergraduate Scholarship 2025 – 2026
- The selection for merit-based scholar programs is administered by the Office of Admission in partnership with esteemed faculty.
- Roughly 8,000-10,000 students apply to be Scholars each year. Out of that, 175–200 students are selected as Scholar Finalists. Finalists are required to attend an on-campus Scholars Finalists Visit held in the spring. Finalists are brought to campus at no expense to the student.
- Taking place over several days, the visit includes activities and interviews designed to help finalists become better acquainted with Emory University and the distinct opportunities available for them here.
- Applicants who are not selected as finalists for a program are still fully reviewed for admission under their selected application plan and will also automatically be considered for other smaller merit-based scholarships.
- The Scholar selection process is completely separate from the financial aid process.
- When a student is eligible for both merit scholarships and financial aid, merit scholarships are awarded first.
