Scholarships

Scholarships and grants are gifts offered by schools, as well as the federal and state governments, that do not have to be repaid. There are many options available, and funds are awarded for a range of achievements so begin your search early!

Merit-Based Scholarships

Merit-based scholarships are for students with a strong academic record, excellence, achievement in extracurricular activities, and strong admissions applications in a holistic review. Athletic and academic scholarships are examples of merit-based aid.

Queens considers all applicants for merit scholarships automatically, regardless of their financial circumstances.
