Furman Merit Based Scholarships
Scholarship Sponsored by Furman University
We want to acknowledge the hard work you've already done and the promise you bring to Furman and beyond. Why merit scholarships exist Merit-based scholarships reward students who combine strong academic achievement with leadership and a commitment to making a positive difference. These awards aren’t just about past grades — they’re an investment in your potential and in the kind of contribution you’ll make on campus and in your community. What we look for (and why it matters) - Academic performance and GPA — Consistent achievement shows you can handle rigorous college work. - Strength of curriculum and course rigor — Colleges want to see you challenged yourself with advanced or demanding courses when available. - Standardized test scores (if submitted) — Test scores can add context to your academic record, especially if they strengthen your overall profile. - Personal essay and demonstrated writing ability — Your essay reveals how you think, what you value, and how you express ideas. - Leadership experience and co-curricular involvement — Leadership shows initiative and the ability to influence others; involvement demonstrates engagement and follow-through. - Community service and impact — Sustained service indicates empathy, responsibility, and a focus on making a real difference. A practical note You don’t need to submit a separate application for merit scholarships — your application for admission is automatically considered. That means the best approach is to present a complete, thoughtful application: strong grades, challenging courses, a clear, well-written essay, and examples of meaningful leadership and service.
