Eligibility

Kean Honors Scholarship, with an application deadline in May, offers numerous awards of $20000 each.

Description

The Kean Honors Scholarship is a merit-based scholarship for new freshmen students. Only recent high school graduates primarily admitted as full-time freshmen are eligible. This award is given based on alternate indicators, including, but not limited to, courses taken, academic rigor, class rank, with a primary focus on high school (unweighted) GPA and standardized exams (SAT, ACT) if applicable. Kean University has recently partnered with Self-Reported Transcript and Academic Record System (also known as STARS) to provide an alternative experience and opportunity for freshmen students educated in the United States (or a United States school abroad) to complete their application. Completing a STARS report will be equivalent to submitting your high school transcript and will bring you one step closer to completing your application. Students may visit the scholarship's website or contact the Office of Financial Aid for more information.
