Stevens Scholarships
Stevens awards several merit scholarships every year to our most outstanding students. You are automatically considered for Stevens merit scholarships when you are admitted; no additional application is needed, with a few exceptions listed below.
Merit scholarships range between $5,000 and full tuition (scholarships may not exceed the cost of tuition). If you receive a Stevens merit scholarship, it may be renewed every year, for a total of eight full-time undergraduate semesters, as long as you meet all of the renewal requirements.
Stevens financial aid is possible in large part due to the generous support of our alumni and friends. During your time at Stevens, you may learn that some or all the financial aid awards you receive are made possible through a named scholarship, established by our donor(s), to support our students. If so, you will be expected to thank the donor(s) for their support. At that time, a member of the Office of Development and Alumni Engagement team will be in touch with further information regarding this process.

This scholarship is renewable for a total of eight full-time, undergraduate semesters, as long as you meet satisfactory academic progress and maintain a minimum GPA of 3.2.
The Edwin A. Stevens Scholarship
This scholarship is named in honor of the founder of Stevens Institute of Technology. It is awarded to students who have a record of excellence in high school, as evidenced by their transcripts, standardized test scores, and recommendations. The Edwin A. Stevens Scholarship is granted for four years (or eight full-time semesters) of undergraduate study and is renewable as long as you meet satisfactory academic progress.

The Presidential Scholarship
The Presidential Scholarship is a prestigious achievement for students who demonstrate academic excellence as evidenced by their transcripts, standardized test scores, and recommendations. This scholarship is renewable for eight full-time, undergraduate semesters as long as you meet satisfactory academic progress and maintain a minimum GPA of 3.2.
The Clark Scholarship
The Clark Scholarship provides support for students participating in the A. James Clark Scholars program. The Clark Scholars Program is an invitation-only program for exceptional, high-achieving students who exhibit a passion for "making a difference". Invitations are extended only at the time of admission. This scholarship is renewable for eight full-time undergraduate semesters providing the scholar continues to meet the academic and service requirements of the program, full-time enrollment, satisfactory academic progress, and a minimum GPA of 3.2. As eligibility for the Clark Scholars Program has a financial need component, Clark Scholars are required to file both the FAFSA and the CSS Profile by the established deadlines each year.
The ROTC Matching Scholarship
Stevens students who receive ROTC Scholarships of $7,500 or more will receive an additional supplemental scholarship from Stevens. This additional amount will be the full difference between the ROTC Scholarship (plus any other merit scholarships and grants) and the cost of tuition. This scholarship is only available during semesters in which you are eligible to receive the ROTC Scholarship.
Global Scholarship
Stevens grants a limited number of Global Scholarships each year to international students for exceptional academic merit. International students who wish to be considered for institutional scholarship must submit the CSS PROFILE on the College Board website. We will notify you if you receive a Global Scholarship. This scholarship is renewable for eight full-time undergraduate semesters as long as you meet satisfactory academic progress.

Am I Eligible?
To receive a Stevens merit scholarship, you must:
Be an admitted, degree-seeking student at Stevens Institute of Technology.
Be enrolled in a degree program and attending courses full time.
Meet the Satisfactory Academic Progress and specific merit scholarship renewal requirements (if applicable) in order to renew your scholarship if you are a returning student.
What Are the Scholarship Rules?
Only incoming students are considered for Stevens merit scholarships.
Merit scholarships are for tuition only, unless otherwise noted.
Merit scholarships require full-time attendance.
If your Stevens merit scholarship is cancelled or reduced, it will not be automatically reinstated, even if you meet the minimum standards for renewal later.
Your merit scholarship may be renewed for a maximum of eight full-time undergraduate semesters.
In certain circumstances, Stevens awards may be reduced to make room for outside scholarships.
Stevens institutional aid (merit and need-based grants) can only be applied to tuition charges. When you receive an outside scholarship, it’s important to find out if the scholarship pays tuition only or can be used for all components of the cost of attendance (tuition, fees, housing, food, books, etc.). If the outside scholarship must be applied towards tuition only, the sum of institutional aid and external scholarships cannot exceed tuition for the semester or year in which it is offered. If your total does exceed tuition, then your institutional aid (merit and need-based grants) will be reduced to make room for the outside awards. Those external scholarships that are not tuition-specific will be applied towards the cost of attendance, and institutional aid will not be reduced.
