1. Certain scholarships are stackable within preset limits. For more information, contact an admissions counselor.
2. Scholarship levels are awarded to incoming students only and are not re-evaluated during attendance at Newman. Scholarships are renewable based on academic and/or co-curricular performance.
3. If a student is offered a higher-level academic scholarship (based on new academic credentials prior to enrollment) than one previously awarded, the higher-level award supersedes the previous offer.
4. If a student's ACT score and high school GPA fall into different scholarship categories, a formula will be used to determine the appropriate level, with the exception of the Cardinal Newman, Sacred Heart, and McNeill Scholarships.
5. Students who lose an academic scholarship due to non-compliance are not eligible for another lower award in its place.
