Fairleigh Dickinson University USA Scholarships

Fairleigh Dickinson University offers a range of merit scholarships for international undergraduate students. Scholarship conditions include submitting a complete FDU application for admission, receiving the award at the time of admission, and having the award not increase once awarded. Awards are given per year for Fall and Spring semesters.

Scholarships cover multiple international undergraduate categories and campus/eligibility conditions where stated. Eligibility varies by scholarship type, including freshmen, undergraduate transfer, and specific grants for families with dependent children or dependent children of alumni, plus athletic scholarships with NCAA Division I participation at the Metropolitan campus.

Selection is tied to each scholarship’s stated minimum requirements, and meeting minimum criteria does not ensure receipt of an award. For some awards, minimum requirements reference academic merit; for others, additional factors apply such as financial need and extracurricular involvement or proof of membership in a specific honor society. Awards are awarded at admission and are subject to certain restrictions.

Support is renewable based on continued full-time enrollment, maintaining a good GPA, and remaining in good standing at FDU, where the scholarship conditions apply broadly. Each scholarship also lists its own renewal limits (such as up to four years or up to two years) and semester limits, including that awards cannot be used toward a Summer semester. Recipients can still qualify for merit-based scholarships where stated.
