Clarkson University offers merit-based scholarships to reward a student's successes and abilities. Each year more than 85 percent of our accepted students receive some form of scholarship.

Students who complete the application process by December 30 (first round of evaluations) or by March 15 (second round of evaluations), will be considered for a 50 percent Tuition Waiver Scholarship based on the overall strength of their application. There are a limited number of these scholarships available.
