Editor's notes

  • Apply by March 1. Your file is then reviewed before the March 31 financial aid priority deadline, and merit awards come 2-3 weeks after admission.
  • Send your full transcript rather than self-reporting grades. VSU says students who self-report aren't considered for merit scholarships, which are based on GPA.
