Final-Semester Seniors: Students approved by Academic Advising to enroll less than full-time in their graduating semester may still receive Tulane Scholarships. Scholarships will be recalculated using the actual reduced tuition charge. Students will not receive full scholarships when not billed full-time tuition.
All Students: If you are not a graduating senior, you must be enrolled full-time for scholarships to apply toward your bill. If you later drop classes and your tuition charges are reduced, all scholarships will be recalculated based on the updated tuition charge. Students will not receive full scholarships when not billed full-time tuition.
Sibling Enrollment Verification
Having a sibling enrolled in an undergraduate program may affect your Tulane Need-Based Scholarship eligibility. The sibling must be enrolled at least half time during the fall or spring semester, and their school must verify enrollment by completing Tulane's Sibling Enrollment Verification Form, available on the Forms section of our website. If sibling enrollment is not verified for the current academic year, your Tulane Need-Based Scholarship will be recalculated and may be reduced or cancelled.
