Non-Resident Freshman Scholarships

Elite Scholarships
The University Scholarship Committee invites a select group of eligible incoming freshmen to apply for up to six of Auburn’s most prestigious scholarships. Students typically invited to apply in December are those with a minimum 34 ACT or 1490 SAT score and a 3.5 high school GPA by the December 1 Freshman Scholarship priority deadline. Following a January application deadline, finalists are invited to campus in February to interview. Several hundred applications are received each year, from which approximately 14 students are named finalists. Elite Scholars receive an additional $10,000 to $30,000 over four years ($2,500 to $7,500 per year).

Elite Scholarships include:

	Dudley University Scholarship Must meet the criteria for another Elite Scholarship. Award amount varies.
	McWane Foundation Scholarship Must have a minimum 34 ACT or 1490 SAT score and a 3.5 high school GPA. Awarded at $30,000 over four years ($7,500 per year).
	Yetta G. Samford Class of 1917 Engineering Endowed Scholarship Must have a minimum 34 ACT or 1490 SAT score and a 3.5 high school GPA and be enrolled in engineering. Awarded at $16,000 over four years ($4,000 per year).
	Vulcan Materials Company Presidential Endowed Scholarship Must have a minimum 34 ACT or 1490 SAT score and a 3.5 high school GPA. Awarded at $20,000 over four years ($5,000 per year).

Auburn Spirit Foundation Scholarship
Incoming freshmen who meet the December 1 Freshman Scholarship priority deadline receive automatic consideration. Auburn Spirit Foundation Scholarships are awarded among students with a minimum 26 ACT or 1170 SAT score and a 3.5 high school GPA who have not already been recognized by the Office of University Scholarships with a scholarship of equal or greater value. Additional consideration is given to first generation college students. Auburn Spirit Foundation Scholarships are awarded competitively in January at $6,000 over four years ($1,500 per year) based on available funding, and consideration does not guarantee a scholarship will be awarded.
