SCHOLARSHIP & GRANT OPPORTUNITIES

Catholic University focuses on helping as many eligible students as possible achieve their goal of a quality, values-based education. Eight out of every 10 full-time CUA students receive some level of financial aid, based on both need and academic potential. However, only in rare circumstances do students qualify to receive more than one academic merit scholarship.

The following awards do not require a separate application or nomination form. Applicants are considered for these monies based upon the completed Undergraduate Application for Admission.

Archdiocesan Scholarships
These full-tuition, four-year scholarships are CUA's most prestigious awards. Students must have a minimum 3.8 GPA (4.0 scale), a minimum SAT of 1450 (or an ACT of 32 or higher), and rank in the top 10% of their high school class. Please note that these awards are for incoming freshmen only.

University Scholarships
These scholarships are awarded to students who have a proven academic profile as determined by their GPA and SAT (or ACT) scores, as well as a strong personal profile, shown through leadership experience and extracurricular activities.

CUA Grants
Students may qualify for these need-based grants based on demonstrated financial need on the FAFSA.
