St. Lawrence University Scholarships

Each year, St. Lawrence awards tens of millions of dollars in financial aid. Some of this is based
on your family's financial need, and the remainder is based on the strength of your application. Each student can only be awarded one merit scholarship. If a student was to qualify for more than one, the scholarship with the greatest dollar value will be awarded. If a student qualifies for two of the same dollar amount (e.g., Momentum and Presidential Diversity Scholarship) the student will be awarded the scholarship that has more programmatic aspects (e.g., Presidential Diversity Scholarship).
