Your college education is an investment in your future. At Alverno, we offer a variety of scholarship opportunities for first-year students as well as transfer
students.
We award merit-based scholarships to first-year, full-time students (those coming directory from high school) based on their academic achievements. For Fall 2021 students, we are test
optional and have adapted two ways to determine merit-based scholarships.
