Merit-based scholarships are awarded by the Curry College Office of Admission to entering full-time first-year and transfer students on the basis of academic achievement. Scholarship candidates are selected from the pool of admission applicants, therefore a scholarship application is not required.

Eligibility in no way guarantees awarding. Financial need is not taken into consideration when awarding merit-based scholarships. Renewal is based on continued achievement of the grade point average (GPA) specified for the scholarship awarded as well as, continued, consecutive full-time enrollment (12 to 15 credits) each semester.
