These merit-based awards are designed to help students cover essential educational costs, which can include tuition, room and board, and other related university expenses. To qualify for this automatic funding, applicants must achieve a minimum GPA of 2.75. Because these are automatic merit awards, they are primarily based on academic performance rather than financial need. However, students are still encouraged to complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) to ensure they are considered for all forms of federal, state, and institutional financial assistance. The university provides comprehensive guidance to help students navigate the FAFSA and understand their overall financial aid packages. For the most up-to-date information regarding application timelines and submission procedures, students should consult the official page for current dates. ## Who can apply - Education level: High school student, Undergraduate - Year: 12th grade, College 1st year - Minimum GPA: 2.75 - College types: 4-year college, Public college - Available to incoming freshmen and transfer students. ## How to apply Eligible incoming freshmen and transfer students are automatically considered for these merit awards based on their academic credentials. ## Related scholarships - [Coyote Campus Engagement Scholarship](https://www.collegesref.com/scholarships/coyote-campus-engagement-scholarship): $500 to $1,000 - [MSW Social Work Scholarship](https://www.collegesref.com/scholarships/msw-social-work-scholarship): Up to $15,000 - [Human and Civil Rights Community Champion Award](https://www.collegesref.com/scholarships/human-and-civil-rights-community-champion-award): Amount varies - [Vicky Bosse Wiencek Memorial Scholarship](https://www.collegesref.com/scholarships/vicky-bosse-wiencek-memorial-scholarship): Amount varies Always confirm amounts, rules and deadlines on the official page before applying.
