## About this scholarship

Alvernia University offers the Veronica Founder's Scholarship to support incoming international students who enroll in undergraduate programs. This merit-based award is designed for both first-year and transfer students who plan to attend classes as traditional day students at the university's main Reading campus. To qualify, applicants must gain admission to the university, meet specific English proficiency standards, and satisfy the required financial specifications. Recipients receive $25,000 per year to help cover their educational costs. The scholarship is renewable for up to four years, or eight semesters, provided the student maintains full-time enrollment and meets the university's academic progress standards. Because this program is specifically for international students, it operates independently of the FAFSA, which is reserved for domestic financial aid. However, applicants must still demonstrate they meet the institution's financial requirements to secure the funding. For information regarding current application dates, please see the official page for current dates.
