SNC merit-based scholarships

Incoming students

SNC rewards your merit with scholarships

You have noteworthy achievements. Your success comes from hard work. St. Norbert College rewards your efforts with merit scholarships that could make a substantial difference in how you plan to pay for college. As an incoming student, you could receive as much as $27,000 annually from a single merit scholarship, funded by SNC. The best part? Some scholarships don’t require an additional application or essay, just your application for admission to SNC.

Important: Take some time to learn about the difference between merit and need-based scholarships. SNC merit scholarships are awarded based on factors like your high school transcript or involvement in activities. Your family’s financial situation is not considered.

We encourage all incoming students to seek out every source of merit aid they’re eligible for, including outside merit aid.

Academic merit scholarships

SNC celebrates your academic performance in ways that matter, with merit scholarships that add up to $68,000-$108,000 that’s dispersed equally during the course of four years. All SNC academic merit scholarships may be applied to your tuition.

You are automatically considered for academic merit scholarships when you apply for admission to SNC. Students who receive academic scholarships are required to maintain the minimum standards associated with the specific award, or risk losing their scholarship.
