Financial aid at Stevens

<p>I think the required GPA to keep your (Stevens merit) award is 3.2, but it can vary depending on the scholarship you are awarded.</p>

<p>According to Stevens’ website, the class of 2013 was composed of 612 students. “This year’s freshman class is the largest in the university’s history, coming from twenty-seven states and several foreign countries, and boasts a record number of women, which make up the 28 percent of the class.”</p>

<p>About 30 students each year (from what I have heard/read) are offered Neupauer awards of full tuition for 4 years (not room and board). There are other scholarships and awards of varying amounts that are offered as well; you would have to search the website for more information. I am not including financial need awards, only merit. </p>

<p>Most students who are offered a scholarship, according to what I have read, are offered Edwin A. Stevens scholarships. I am <em>guessing</em> that the average award for a top 25% student (top 25% at Stevens, not at your high school) is somewhere in the area of 15-20k per year, and it may be comprised of multiple scholarships. For example Edwin A. Stevens and the one for women engineers. Or Edwin A. Stevens and First. Or EAS and Performing Arts. Or EAS by itself. </p>

<p>They may also consider that an additional offer, such as Stevens Scholars or 4 + 1 Masters, is a perk with a value that may offset the amount of EAS you get. Scholars allows you to take classes for free during the summer, or offers a research opportunity with either paid housing or stipend for the summer. I am not sure what 4+1 offers. </p>

<p>But this is only speculation: I’m discussing it because there are always questions about how much Stevens typically awards, and there is not much to go by. </p>

<p>Feel free to comment on my observations/assumptions.</p>
