Tuition & Aid | First-Year Students | Belmont University

Just in case you have not looked- above is the link for merit aid information.

This is what stands out:

“GPA, essay, co-curricular activities and test score (if submitted)”

“Admitted first-year students with academic credentials that meet or exceed the University’s first-year student class profile are considered competitive candidates for these awards. The first-year class entering fall 2025 had an average ACT composite score of 25 or SAT score of 1225, with a cumulative high school grade point average of 3.7 on a four-point scale.”

Do you meet the minimum above? If so- you most likely will get some merit. Perhaps if they take a holistic view- then the fact that no one has attended from your school could intrigue them to offer a little more just to entice you- but I would not hold my breath on that. There may be a reason no one from your school attends here?! (fit may not be good?)

Good luck!!
