Scholarship Update<\/h1>\n\n

Congratulations to our fall 2026 Top Scholar recipients<\/strong>!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Please note that Ryan, Schilling, and Verrecchia scholarships have been awarded for the 2026-27 year.<\/em><\/p>\n\n<\/div><\/section><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Merit Scholarships <\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Merit Scholarships are four-year awards*, renewable each semester as long as the recipient maintains continuous, full-time, undergraduate enrollment (12 credits per semester) and a minimum GPA of 2.8. None of our merit scholarships requires a separate application. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

All first-year applicants for fall whose applications are complete by December 1<\/strong> will be given priority consideration for the full range of URI scholarship awards, including our Presidential Scholarships<\/strong>, University Scholarships<\/strong>, and our Top Scholarships<\/a><\/strong> (including the new Schilling Scholars Program<\/strong> and our full-ride Ryan Scholars and Verrecchia Business Scholars <\/strong>awards). Applicants who complete their applications after December 1 will be considered for scholarships as availability permits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

*Students enrolled in the six-year Doctorate of Pharmacy program retain their scholarships for six years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
