Undergraduate Scholarships & Grants
We’ve got you covered – the majority of students earn at least one scholarship worth at least $10,000 every year, which could save you $40,000 over the course of four years. Undergraduate students are eligible to extend any of the following annual scholarships for four years if they continue to meet the GPA requirements outlined in the scholarships policies page. These scholarships are for domestic and international students (must have completed CSS profile).
Plus, international students receive a 20% discount on the balance of tuition after other scholarships and grants have been applied. All scholarships are subject to Hilbert’s scholarships policies.
Please note: Eligible scholarships are subject to change for the academic year.
