The FAFSA must be received by Auburn University by the financial aid priority deadline of March 1.
Incoming Freshmen

- Minimum 3.0 high school GPA
Priority consideration is given to incoming freshmen who meet the December 1 Freshman Scholarship priority deadline and have not previously been recognized with a scholarship valued at resident tuition or greater. Incoming freshmen with a test score and GPA at or above the averages of Auburn's most recent freshman class are more likely to receive an award.

Priority consideration is given to transfer students who have a minimum 3.5 transfer GPA, have earned a minimum of 45 transfer hours, demonstrate financial need, and have not previously been recognized with a scholarship valued at resident tuition or greater.
