Freshman Scholarships and Institutional Aid

Institutional aid and scholarships are considered gift aid—meaning you do not have to pay them back—and come directly from Fontbonne.

Merit Scholarships

Maryam Ibrahim

Biology, student ambassador and the student government representative

I am privileged and honored to be one of the recipients. There are many opportunities this scholarship gave me, such as; I don’t have to worry about paying for school. I love that I can study/ major in whatever I want, and Fontbonne will pay for my school.

Jacob Lierman

The best part about receiving the presidential scholarship is not worrying about finances while attending college. I can be as involved on campus as I please, not having to spend all my extra time working to pay off student loans. In my case, I work part-time, but I still have ample time for my studies. Without worrying about student loans and debt, I do not feel pressured into a particular major and pursue my dream of becoming a teacher. 

Madison Moyle

Medical Laboratory Science, Vice President of SAGA (Fontbonne's sexuality and gender alliance) and a member of the Omicron Delta Kappa Fontbonne circle

Being a Presidential Scholarship recipient has pushed me to do my very best academically. It’s a great motivator when you feel like giving up. My tips for students applying are to be yourself and show that you have the discipline needed to handle the academic requirements, but know that it’s not as scary as it sounds!

Your Fontbonne admission application is the first step in qualifying for a merit scholarship. Entering first-time freshmen who qualify for a merit scholarship may also qualify for one talent scholarship.

Transfer students who have earned less than 15 transferable hours at the time of admission may also be eligible for a merit-based scholarship. Consideration for these scholarships is based on high school and college cumulative grade point averages. Learn more about additional transfer scholarships.

This scholarship offers full tuition for up to 10 semesters of continuous, full-time, undergraduate enrollment at Fontbonne
University.

By invitation only. Learn more about the O’Neill Stroble Presidential Scholarship Program here.

The Fontbonne Promise is a unique opportunity for first-time, first-year students in Missouri who are calculated with an expected family contribution of zero on the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). The university will award full tuition and fees for five years to a select number of first year students.

Students who qualify for the Fontbonne Promise will receive a financial aid award that covers full tuition and fees — loan free. The scholarship funding will be made possible through a combination of federal, state, Fontbonne aid and donor contributions. Federal loan options are available for on-campus housing or other educational expenses, but they will not need them to cover the tuition cost of earning a bachelor’s degree.
