scholarships are sometimes offered at time of notification of admission, sometimes later…as in late winter. Generally scholarships require a combined SAT of 1400/1600. There are some specific restricted funds available for some scholarships, not generally available to kids who dont fit that profile (e.g. some ethnic and some catholic school related).

Every applicant to Fordham is considered for scholarships. No specific scholarship application is necessary.

It is generally advisable to fill out a FAFSA, whether you need financial aid or not, as all scholarships require a FAFSA completion, which is largely for statistical analysis. In any event the FAFSA makes you eligible for university grants and loans as well.

Scholarships cover partial tuition or full tuition. They don’t cover room/board (cf. athletic scholarships).
