Lesley University Scholarships in USA 2017
Scholarships & Grants
Undergraduate Scholarships
You’re considered for a Lesley University merit scholarship when you apply as a first-year freshman. Merit scholarships are based on your academic record, and, for art & design programs, your portfolio.
We’ll consider you for the one merit scholarship that best matches your strengths. You’ll find out which award you got in your Lesley acceptance letter.
Enroll full-time, in a program taught on campus, and the scholarship will be applied to your tuition. It’s that easy.
Your scholarship can be renewed each year, so long as you take at least 12 credits/semester (full-time status) and you make satisfactory academic progress.
What about the SAT or ACT tests?
International students, and students applying for a program within our College of Art and Design, do not need to submit SAT or ACT test results. For these students, these tests are optional.
