About the Scholarship

The Wisdom Scholarship is the 3.0 GPA band of Rockhurst University's automatic freshman merit scale, worth $20,000 a year towards tuition at the rate published for autumn 2026 to spring 2027.

There is no separate form. Apply for admission and the award is decided with your admission letter. Weighted GPAs count where the transcript shows them, and a better first-semester senior year transcript can move you into a higher band.

International students are eligible. Rockhurst states a $14,000 to $28,000 merit range for international undergraduates and confirms that state and federal aid is closed to them, so housing, fees and flights come from family funds. The autumn entry deadline for international applicants is 1 June.

Renewal follows Rockhurst's published requirements each year, and this award cannot be combined with one of the competitive or academic scholarships.

What It Covers

  • Tuition

A tuition award of $20,000 for each academic year, at the rate published for autumn 2026 to spring 2027. Institutional awards cannot exceed the cost of tuition, so housing, fees and travel stay with the student.

Eligibility

First-time incoming first-year students with a 3.0 GPA. Weighted GPAs are used where the transcript provides them, and the seventh-semester transcript is the last one reviewed for an upgrade to a higher band. Rockhurst states that international undergraduate applicants may be eligible for merit scholarships of $14,000 to $28,000, and that international students cannot receive state or federal aid. Renewal follows the published scholarship renewal requirements, and a student cannot hold both a competitive and an academic scholarship.

How to Apply

Automatic with the admission application, decided alongside the admission decision.
