Merit scholarships at Western New England University will be awarded to freshman students based on high school academic achievement. The Merit Scholarships Program comprises the Presidential Scholars Awards, Provost's Scholar Awards, and Trustee's Scholar Awards. Awards are based on the Grade Point Average (GPA) which may be recalculated if a student has Honors or AP courses. Grades that are not calculated into the GPA include those for music, art, religion, non-programming computer courses, and technical courses, to name a few. Please visit the scholarship's website for more information.
