The Fordham Recognition Scholarship is awarded to students with outstanding academic records who have also received one of the following designations: National Merit Semifinalist, National Hispanic Scholar, National African American Recognition Program Scholar, or National Indigenous Recognition Scholar, who are entering first-year students, and are in the top 3 percent of our admitted student pool as defined by our holistic admission review process. This scholarship augments gift aid from all sources to cover the full tuition cost each year (fees not included) for courses taken as a traditional undergraduate student at Fordham. The remaining half may be used for additional educational expenses. Please visit the scholarship's website for more information.
