Ursinus Targets More Financial Aid to High-Achieving Students

Ursinus College (PA) announced a new financial-aid scholarship that will cut nearly in half the cost of college for high-achieving students and could improve the school's competitive edge.  The new Gateway Scholarship will offer $30,000 per year for four years and be open to first-year full-time students for fall 2017.  To qualify, students must get at least a 1260 combined reading and math score on their SAT or a composite score of 28 on their ACT, and meet college-prep-level course requirements.
