HAMPTON UNIVERSITY<\/strong>\u00a0is pleased to recognize outstanding academic achievement by offering merit based scholarships to first-time freshmen.\u00a0The selection process is extremely competitive and students who submit a completed\u00a0admission application packets by the Early Action deadline (November 15) are automatically considered for merit awards. A separate scholarship application form is\u00a0NOT<\/strong>\u00a0required for consideration of an award.\u00a0To be considered for a merit based scholarship, students must have a minimum 3.5 (unweighted) cumulative grade point average.\u00a0\u00a0A minimum 1000 SAT (EBR & M), or an ACT Composite score of 22 is also required.<\/strong>\u00a0Students who apply using the Test Optional Policy are NOT eligible for merit based scholarships.<\/strong>\u00a0Official scholarship offers are communicated to the recipient via written correspondence only, and are mailed separately from the offer of admission.\u00a0 Scholarship offer letters are typically mailed in late December.<\/strong><\/p>

MERIT SCHOLARSHIPS<\/strong><\/p>

Merit Scholarships<\/strong>\u00a0can range from $10,000 -$25,000 per academic year.\u00a0 These generous award amounts are designed to provide\u00a0many<\/em>\u00a0awards to a vast number of our students, as opposed to awarding a\u00a0few<\/em>\u00a0large amounts to a smaller population.\u00a0 Hence, the University no longer has scholarships that are named Trustee, Presidential, etc.\u00a0 The deciding factor in the award amount is based largely on the standardized test score, as this puts all applicants on a level playing field.\u00a0 Students may submit test scores for scholarship consideration throughout the academic year.\u00a0 Offers will be made as long as funds are available.\u00a0 Merit based scholarships awarded to entering freshmen are renewable for three consecutive years beyond the first year, provided the student attains a cumulative 3.0 grade point average by the end of the spring semester each academic year.<\/p>

Legacy Scholarship
<\/b>The Legacy Scholarship was established to honor the proud tradition of families around the world whose members have attended Hampton University across generations. Hampton University defines a\u00a0legacy student<\/i>\u00a0as a direct descendant of an individual who attended the University, including a mother, father, grandmother, grandfather, great-grandmother, or great-grandfather. This scholarship recognizes the enduring commitment of these families to the Hampton legacy and their continued connection to the University.
\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Eligibility Requirements:
\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0\u2022\u00a0<\/span><\/b>Must be enrolled as a full-time student.
\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u2022 <\/b>Must maintain a minimum cumulative GPA of 3.0 to renew the scholarship at the end of each semester.<\/span>
\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u2022 <\/b>Application deadline: June 30, 2026.

Additional Information<\/h2>

The total financial package for students who receive scholarships through the Office of Admission, the Athletic Department, and\/or Academic Departments, regardless of source, cannot exceed the direct cost (tuition, fees, room and board) of education at the University. Sources of gift aid include grants, scholarships, stipends and other assistance. In such cases, the scholarship award will be reduced appropriately. All scholarship recipients are required to complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid(FAFSA) application and apply for financial aid each academic year. For specific information on need-based aid, contact the Office of Student Financial Aid at Hampton University, Hampton, Virginia 23668. Students awarded scholarships must accept or reject the awards within the specified time allocated at the time of the offer. Failure to adhere to the required response time will result in an automatic cancellation of the scholarship offer.<\/p>

CONSIDERATION OF A SCHOLARSHIP AWARD IS GRANTED TO ELIGIBLE STUDENTS ONLY.\u00a0 HAMPTON UNIVERSITY RESERVES THE RIGHT TO CHANGE THE REQUIREMENTS AND AWARD AMOUNTS WITHOUT PRIOR NOTICE.<\/strong><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
