Merit Aid at Fordham?

Colleges and Universities A-Z Fordham University

Hey guys, I got into Fordham on the EA round. I emailed an admission rep and she said that Merit aid and Financial aid would come out around Feb 1 for EA. I was wondering what amount of scholarship you guys think I might get? A current student at Fordham said she thinks I will probably get a full tuition scholarship, but I’d like to increase my sample size. I will most likely make a decision to go to Fordham based on the amount of scholarship/aid I receive.

  • rank 28/170
  • 4.25 gpa
  • 2270 SAT
  • 34 ACT
  • 790 Math2

EC’s… Should I bother listing them? I feel like they aren’t considered in aid amounts.

Additional info: Tulane offered me 30k, so maybe that might help? Idk. Thank you so much. I really would love to go to Fordham, but it honestly does depend on how much scholarship I get.

In addition, how does Fordham decide scholarships anyways? I know this is a question that might not have many answers, but it would be great if someone could shed some light on this.

Edit: Changed full ride to full tuition scholarship. I can pay room/board, but tuition itself is what I’m looking for. Sorry for the confusion!

hi @Chromiumite ! congratulations on your acceptance (and your scholarship to Tulane). I was also admitted to Fordham EA, and on my portal it notified me that I had qualified for the Dean’s Scholarship, which is minimally $15,000 a year. I believe they already notified students if they were to receive some type of merit aid from the university; however, they have not yet delivered exact amounts–I am hoping that they release the exact amounts sometime within the next month

@keanne20 Thanks! I’ve also heard that some people have been notified earlier, but the admission rep I emailed said regardless, the actual amount of merit aid will be released on Feb 1
