Scholarships and grants are types of financial assistance that are provided to students to help them pay for all or half of their college expenses. Scholarships and grants are awarded based on a combination of financial necessity and merit. Scholarships and grants, unlike loans, do not have to be returned by the student. And to that end the university is committed to fulfilling our undergraduate students' expressed needs. We are proud of our need-based financial aid policy, which is tailored to give you choices for paying for college.
The Presidential Scholarship Program was created in 2014 to encourage highly talented prospective students while also addressing financial obstacles to these students' ability to attend Carnegie Mellon University. This elite degree offers financial aid as well as a high-level distinction to this outstanding group of students. All other university scholarships are provided to eligible incoming first-year students not only for academic achievements but also for artistic talents. If adequate academic performance (cumulative 2.0 QPA) is sustained and Carnegie Mellon tuition is determined, the Carnegie Scholarship is renewable for 8 semesters of undergraduate study (10 semesters for students in the School of Architecture).
