Scholarships below are typically available each year. Be sure to visit their website for the most up to date information.
It is the student's responsibility to report all outside scholarships to the Office of Student Financial Aid when you become aware of them. Your financial aid award will be reviewed and adjusted according to institutional policies and federal regulations. You will be notified of the adjustments. Outside scholarships include (but are not limited to): Goucher tuition waivers/remission, other employer tuition benefits, merit-based state scholarships, and scholarships from outside organizations. ROTC and Tuition Exchange are not considered outside scholarships. (Receipt of ROTC or tuition Exchange will result in a direct reduction of the Goucher grant.)
Outside/private scholarships will first be applied to your unmet need. If the amount of the scholarship exceeds your unmet need, your federal loan or federal work study award will be adjusted by a maximum of $1200. The Goucher Grant will be reduced if total scholarships exceed your unmet need plus $1200 or, if the total aid (including outside scholarships) is greater than the cost of attendance.
