Merit Scholarships for First-Time Year Students from Outside of Ohio for Fall 2025
Eligibility
You will be considered for first-year student merit scholarships if you apply to 91ֿ by February 15, 2025. You must apply and be admitted to 91ֿ by December 1, 2024 to be considered for an invitation to apply to the Honors College.
You must be classified as a non-Ohio resident for tuition, be a U.S. citizen, declare a bachelor’s degree-granting major, and plan to enroll full-time at the Kent Campus. Students admitted to an online bachelor's degree program will be considered for the Academic Achievement Award and not the President's Achievement Award.
Allowances
If you will be the recipient of a 91ֿ Employee Tuition Benefit Waiver or NEOMED employee tuition benefit, your tuition scholarship offer will be reduced or cancelled.
Test-Optional Scores & Test Score Impact on Scholarships
91ֿ is test-optional, meaning students are not required to submit standardized test scores (SAT and/or ACT). If you have test scores, you can request that your scores not be used in your admission decision. If submitted, the latest test scores that will be accepted for scholarship purposes is December 2024. Test scores taken after December 2024 will not be considered in the scholarship review process.
91ֿ will provide you with our best scholarship offer, regardless of whether test scores are used in your admission decision.
