According to what we were told by admissions, the scholarships are based solely on class GPA and test scores. Being COC plays a huge role in the scholarships as well, since the scores/GPA required by COC members are lower than those required by non-COC members. My daughter had a 31 ACT, 4.0 and was class valedictorian. Based on what she had heard from students the previous year, she thought for sure she would have gotten a merit scholarship. She really liked Pepperdine, but since they offered NO merit money to her, she decided not to attend. Others that she met that had lower stats did receive scholarships, but they were all COC. Not sure what the bottom line for COC’ers was, Pepperdine does not publish that info. Best of luck to you!!
