Moore School general scholarships are competitive and limited. The number and amount of scholarships awarded vary and are subject to available funds.
Application Process for Undergraduate Students
To apply for any Moore School scholarship, you need to complete an online application known as the Moore School Common Scholarship Application annually. For the upcoming academic year, students who complete and submit the Moore School Common Scholarship Application are automatically considered for all scholarships for which they meet the scholarship criteria. This means that you only need to fill out and submit one annual application to apply for all available scholarships.
Please note that you must fill out the application in its entirety to be considered for scholarships. Thoroughly completing the application, including the optional questions, may broaden the scholarships for which you are considered since those questions help identify applicants who meet specific criteria.
Deadlines and Application Links
Applications open in January at the beginning of the spring term. There are three applications with different deadlines: one for current or returning students, one for incoming freshmen and one for incoming transfer students. Late submissions will not be accepted.
