Scholarship/Grants/Awards

Villanova University's Programs

Villanova University has a comprehensive scholarship program. Each year our program awards scholarships to a number of deserving students. Recipients of three University-sponsored scholarship programs are monitored by the Center for Multicultural Affairs:

The Presidential Scholarships for Underrepresented Students

The Assistant Vice President of the Center for Multicultural Affairs chairs the selection committee for the Presidential Scholarships for Underrepresented Students. The scholarships are offered to a select group of entering students, traditionally talented students are provided with tuition, room and board and books. Information about the scholarship, along with the application, is provided below. It can also be obtained from the Center for Multicultural Affairs or the University's Admission Office.

St. Martin de Porres Grants

The St. Martin de Porres Grant is also offered to a select group of traditionally underrepresented students who are high school seniors from the Greater Philadelphia area. The grants, developed for current tuition and fees, are renewable annually. St. Martin de Porres Grants are awarded through the Admission Office. Information about the grant can be obtained from the University's Admission Office.

Goizueta Foundation Scholars Fund

The Goizueta Foundation Scholars Fund has been instituted for the purpose of providing need-based scholarship assistance to Hispanic/Latino students whose families currently reside in the United States. This award valued at 12,500 annually (for eight consecutive semesters) will be granted to an entering freshman who is of Hispanic or Latino origin and has demonstrated outstanding academic achievement and financial need. Candidates should have an exemplary high school record and correspondingly high SAT or ACT scores. In addition to this award, returning undergraduate students will be considered for scholarship funding through this program on the basis of their academic performance and financial need.

Economic/Entrepreneurial Education Award

The Economic/Entrepreneurial Education Award (3E) provides assistance to graduates from Philadelphia's 3E program. Awards are made by the University's Admission Office. Information about the Program can be obtained from the University's Admission Office.
