Award information
Scholars are awarded variable stipends based on the university’s official on-campus Cost of Attendance and other financial awards received by the Scholar for each academic year (including scholarships, grants, waivers, savings plans, etc.). The Terry Scholarship provides sufficient assistance to cover tuition, fees, books, and reasonable living expenses on campus. It is the Foundation’s intent that Scholars will not need to incur student loan debt.
