<p>Hi,
This is the question my daughter and I had last year when she was a senior applying to Pepperdine. My daughter applied to 12 colleges and got into all but had her heart set on Pepperdine. She is now a freshmen there and LOVES it! She will be studying in London her sophomore year.
To answer your question, Pepperdine does not really offer full rides unless you are an athlete. However, they do offer some very competitive scholarships and generous grants. My daughter would have been unable to attend without those. Depending on your SAT scores, GPA and essays they can be very generous. If you are Church of Christ affiliated you are also offered generous scholarships. (we are not)
Pepperdine is a wonderful school and everyone that we have come into contact with absolutely love it there. Good luck! :)</p>

<p>Do we apply for the scholarships prior to hearing back from Pepperdine about our admission decisions?</p>

<p>Sigh. Two years ago, we were really hoping for Pepperdine merit. Really seemed a great fit, but while it happens for some, it didn’t happen for her. You should search the Pepperdine forum for “merit” or “scholarship”</p>
