Editor's notes

  • Schedule a visit before May 1 of senior year. It adds a $1,000 Visit Scholarship, and Asbury says the 2027-28 entry term qualifies.
  • Asbury reweights AP, IB and Honors grades when it sets your merit award. If you're near 4.0, those courses could be what earns a Scholarship Competition invitation.
