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.
