Academic Scholarships

Academic scholarships are based on a student’s cumulative high school GPA. We became test-free as of March 2020—EMU does not require students to submit SAT and ACT test scores, nor will test scores be considered in the admissions evaluation. Academic scholarships range from $18,000 to $26,000 per year and are renewable for four years, depending on academic performance. A separate application is not required. Students who qualify for an academic scholarship will be notified with their admissions decision letter. Students may submit updated transcripts through January in order to be considered for scholarship upgrades. Estimate your specific academic/merit scholarship amount using our Net Price Calculator.
