Scholarships

College is one of the most valuable investments you can make in your future, and Sweet Briar is prepared to make a significant investment in you.

We offer academic (merit) scholarships based on your high school grade-point average and standardized test score (and we will mix scores from different test dates to get your best total test score). Our scholarships range up to $15,000 per year and are renewable annually, provided you maintain the academic criteria indicated in your scholarship notification letter.

You do not need to submit a separate application to be considered for a merit scholarship (with the exception of the specific awards listed below). All first-year applicants will be considered for appropriate merit scholarships as long as the application has been received by the appropriate deadline.

The following scholarships do require a separate application that is due by the date indicated on the individual scholarship application:

• CLIMB (Create Learn Innovate Manage Build) Scholarship
• Junior Year in France (JYF) Scholarships
• Junior Year in Spain (JYS) Scholarships
• Music Scholarships
• Promoting Academic and Community Engagement (PACE) Scholarships
