Merit-Based Scholarships
Purdue University offers a variety of merit-based scholarships to recognize and reward outstanding academic achievement. These scholarships are typically awarded based on academic performance, test scores, and other accomplishments.
Each scholarship may have different eligibility criteria and deadlines, so it’s crucial to review the specific requirements and deadlines for the scholarships you’re interested in. Some scholarships may require separate applications or additional essays.
Financial Aid Deadlines
In addition to scholarships, Purdue University offers financial aid options to help students cover the cost of their education. The Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) is the first step in determining your eligibility for federal grants, loans, and work-study programs. The FAFSA opens on October 1st for the following academic year, and it’s important to submit your application as early as possible to maximize your chances of receiving aid.
