University description (as per official university website)
Founded in 1787 as a small, private school, the Pittsburgh Academy was located in a log cabin near Pittsburgh’s three rivers. In the 220 years since, the University has evolved into an internationally recognized center of learning and research.
Since 1996, enrollment at Pitt has increased by more than 2,600 students. At the same time, admission has become more selective; 46 percent of first-year students graduated in the top 10 percent of their class, compared to 22 percent in 1996.

Scholarships:
A University of Pittsburgh academic scholarship is merit-based financial aid. All freshmen who file a complete admissions application by the suggested deadline, including all supporting documents, are automatically considered for an academic scholarship. Academic transcripts and SAT I or ACT scores, submitted with your Application for Admission, will determine your possible scholarship eligibility. However, we consider many aspects of a student's credentials. Students engaged in a particularly challenging curriculum or attending a highly competitive high school will be given consideration when being evaluated for scholarships. A complete admissions application must be filed by January 15 for consideration. University of Pittsburgh academic scholarships may range in value from $2000 per year to full tuition and room and board. University of Pittsburgh academic scholarships are generally available for eight full time undergraduate terms, provided the recipient maintains a 3.0 GPA and meets all of the other terms and conditions of the specific award.

Students will be considered for a University of Pittsburgh academic scholarship without regard to the results of the FAFSA.
New transfer students are not eligible for University academic scholarships. Continuing students at the University of Pittsburgh who were not awarded a scholarship as an incoming freshman student are also not eligible to be considered for an academic scholarship. |
