University of Richmond Financial Aid

<p>Most competitive admission schools either do away with merit scholarships completely, or reserve the dollars for applicants that are truly the “best of the best.” Such is the case at UR. It’s my opinion that anyone contemplating UR admission should maintain very low expectations with respect to obtaining merit aid, unless the applicant will truly bring something unique & special to the table. My son was a 4.0 student at a great college prep high school, (all AP classes, good extracurricular activities, etc.) He was awarded $10K-$15K in merit aid at a few other schools, but UR provided no merit offer whatsoever as an inbound freshman. While the university does offer some endowed scholarships for ongoing undergraduates pursuing select majors, these too are competitive. If you’re considering applying to UR, anticipate relying primarily on their need based aid program.</p>
