Emory Scholars

Emory University offers scholarships based on academic merit to a select group of incoming first-year students.  Emory Scholars represent an impressive array of academic, cultural and extracurricular interests and achievements.  Most have been National Merit finalists or semifinalists and almost all have won distinction beyond the classroom, including national awards in music, languages, science, mathematics, or other fields.  They have held principal leadership offices in their secondary schools, served as editors of school newspapers and yearbooks, earned distinction in scouting and similar organizations and played significant roles in community and volunteer programs.  Recipients of the Emory Scholars awards receive scholarships renewable for four years of undergraduate study, provided they maintain high standards of personal and academic excellence.  Scholarships range from two-thirds tuition awards to full-cost scholarships.
