Scholarships for Entering Freshmen

Arizona State University offers many institutional recruitment scholarships for outstanding freshmen as they pursue academic excellence at ASU. Many of the scholarships are renewable. There are also scholarships for outstanding nonresident freshmen.

Institutional recruitment scholarships may be used toward your educational expenses including tuition and fees, housing, books and other costs of attendance. Please be aware that ASU does not combine institutional recruitment scholarships other than the University Scholarship and the need-based Maroon and Gold scholarship combination. In the event you qualify for more than one of these scholarships, ASU will award you the scholarship with the higher dollar value.
