Dean’s Scholarships

($20,000 annually)

Dean's Scholarships are awarded to prospective students with outstanding academic profiles highlighting a very rigorous curriculum, superior grades and standardized test scores (if submitted for consideration) with a commitment to school and civic engagement.

Most funding is awarded to students who have demonstrated institutional need as determined by Bucknell’s Office of Financial Aid, but a limited amount will also be awarded to those who do not have financial need or do not apply for aid.

Recipients will be notified along with their admissions decisions.
