Editor's notes

  • Your high school GPA sets your merit award automatically, from $19,000 to $30,000 a year, with no separate application. Check which band your GPA falls in before comparing aid offers.
  • If you apply without scores, write the optional essay anyway. Seton Hill may ask test-optional applicants for one, and having it ready keeps your file moving in a rolling process.
