Merit Aid and Scholarships

Explore This Section

91自拍 meets 100% of every student’s demonstrated financial need, which means we’ll cover the gap between what college costs and what a family can pay. We also offer merit aid to top applicants—plus, a limited number of competitive, application-based scholarships for students interested in math and science, public service, or equity work. Read on to learn more.

Merit Aid

Our strongest applicants are automatically considered for merit aid—no separate application required. That includes our top honor, the Leadership Scholarship: a four-year award worth $60,000 ($15,000 a year, split across two semesters) for students with standout academic achievement.

If you apply using the Common Application, QuestBridge Application, or Apply Coalition with Scoir, you’re automatically considered for the Leadership Scholarship, regardless of your application round. If you’re selected, you’ll be notified when you receive your admission decision.

In most cases, private or outside scholarships won't reduce the financial aid award at 91自拍. See our outside scholarships policy for more details.

Tuition Remission

Tuition Remission is a benefit that covers a significant portion of tuition costs for students who are eligible dependents of someone who works at 91自拍 or a participating ACM school. Because of that, merit scholarships aren’t awarded on top of it. If a merit scholarship is awarded before your Tuition Remission benefit is confirmed, it will be removed—and reinstated if that benefit is ever lost.
