Fisk Rewards Academic Merit

Fisk University offers merit-based scholarships to help academically talented students cover the cost of their education as University resources permit. In addition to a competitive academic record, students interested in merit-based awards should also present a record of demonstrated leadership and community service.

Scholarships are not guaranteed and there is no separate application. Students are evaluated on the strength of their admission application in comparison against the applicant pool. Priority scholarship consideration occurs during the Early Action cycles.

Only students with complete admission files will be considered for scholarship opportunities.
