Are there admission or GPA requirements for merit scholarships?
Students must be admitted to RMU and be registered for a full-time class schedule to apply (including online or independent study courses). Those who are selected to receive a merit scholarship will be required to maintain satisfactory academic progress. While there is not a specific GPA requirement, applicants must provide transcripts from their previous school (if they have never attended RMUoHP).

What is the application deadline for merit scholarships?
There are three application cycles throughout the year. Applications are accepted on the first (1st) of July (fall semester), November (winter semester), and March (summer semester), respectively. The deadline for each of these application periods is on the fifteenth (15th) of the months stated above (the scholarship application cycle schedule may also be found on the previous page).

Scholarship awardees will be notified within sixty (60) days of the receipt of their completed application. The disbursement of scholarship funds will occur after the add/drop deadline date of each semester.

If I have previously received a merit scholarship, will I automatically receive one next year or do I need to reapply?
No, you will need to reapply each year that you are eligible. Scholarships are not automatically renewed from year to year. A student may apply during all three application periods (July, November, and March); however, students may receive only one merit scholarship per calendar year. If a student is awarded a merit scholarship during a given year, that student must wait until the next calendar year to apply (when they will once again be eligible).
