Its simple. You apply to Fordham and you are considered for merit scholarships. Every application is reviewed for a merit scholarship when it comes in. Both EA and RD application pool.

Who gets the money? That depends of course where you are from, what school, what your stats are, if you are a URM or not. Generally speaking you have to be in the top percentiles of the applicant pool to get the money. Some will be full rides and some will be partial rides. As a rule of thumb, an SAT of 1400 or better (CR + Math) and a gpa of 3.7 uw or higher.

If that doesnt work, then fill out a FAFSA and you may well get a grant in aid if you qualify.
