Merit Scholarships
Dominican University offers Merit Scholarships, which recognize and reward your specific accomplishments, talents, and potential. Unlike need-based financial aid that evaluates your family’s income and assets, merit scholarships focus entirely on what you have achieved and what you can contribute to a campus community.
Athletic Scholarships
We offer tuition scholarships to talented athletes who participate on our athletic teams. Women’s teams include basketball, cross-country, track and field, lacrosse, soccer, softball and volleyball. Men’s teams include baseball, basketball, cross-country, track and field, golf, lacrosse, and soccer.
St. Dominic Scholarship
Students from Catholic high schools are eligible for this scholarship in addition to the Freshman Scholarship. Students with a grade point average of 3.0-3.49 receive an additional $1,000, and those with a grade point average from 3.5-4.0 receive an additional $2,000.
Need-Based Grant-in-Aid
Dominican University provides funds that are based strictly on financial need. These grants are part of our effort to make college education affordable for students. The University offers a limited number of need-based grants to undergraduate students annually. These Grant-in-Aid funds are not automatically renewed. As these funds are need-based, a processed FAFSA is required, and a determination of award is made after all other sources of financial aid are taken into account. It is the purpose of these funds to be the final source to assist students in meeting the cost of education
Rockland County Employees
Full-time employees of the Rockland County government are eligible for the following tuition reductions:
- Undergraduate: $350 reduction for every three credits taken online
- Graduate: $400 reduction for every three credits taken online or in the classroom
Federal Pell Grant
Pell Grants are awarded only to undergraduate students who have not earned a bachelor’s or professional degree. These grants do not have to be repaid.
Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant (FSEOG)
This grant is for undergraduate students with exceptional financial needs. An FSEOG also does not have to be paid back.
Federal Work-Study Program
This program provides jobs for undergraduate and graduate students with financial needs, allowing them to earn money to help pay education expenses. The program encourages community service work and work related to your course of study. The wages will be at least the current federal minimum wage. The total Federal Work-Study award depends on when a student applies, the level of need, and the funding level of the institution.
Tuition Assistance Program (TAP)
The maximum annual award f
or TAP is from $1,000 to $5,665 and since it is a grant, it does not have to be paid back! Award amounts are based on NYS Net Taxable Income. To learn more, visit https://www.ny.gov/services/apply-new-york-state-tap.
