Each year, AFAS awards a number of merit-based scholarships as a complement to the need-based support allocated through the Arnold Education Grants program. Incoming college freshmen who successfully complete the Arnold Education Grants application process and who exhibit the highest levels of academic performance are invited to apply for an AFAS Merit Scholarship. Applicants are selected based on cumulative GPA, high school transcripts and an essay written on a specified topic.
