Restricted Scholarships

All undergraduate applicants will be considered for all Fordham Scholarships. Some scholarships have very specific, limiting, criteria.

For most undergraduates, eligibility for a scholarship is determined upon entrance into the University based on prior academic strengths and, if the scholarship is need based, on the students financial need as calculated using the standard financial aid forms. Typically, the scholarship recipient will continue to receive the scholarship at the same amount received during the first year as long as the awardee continues to meet the specific scholarship criteria.

The Scholarships below have very specific and limiting criteria. They are available to undergraduate students only who may qualify. These scholarships have a supplemental data sheet attached which you may use to self-identify yourself. Please submit a data sheet to demonstrate your fulfillment of the requirements. In order to qualify you must be accepted to the University and have completed the financial aid process.
