Honoring our namesake, the St. John Henry Newman Scholarship is the most competitive Newman University award, offered to only FIVE high-achieving First Year students entering in the Fall each year! Recipients are required to live on campus while receiving this scholarship.
This scholarship is automatically renewable for up to 5 years/10 semesters total as long as the student maintains a 3.00+ GPA, continues to live on campus, completes 32 hours of community service each semester, and continues to enroll full time.
This award replaces any previously-awarded merit scholarship and may only be stackable with Athletics.
