Covers course materials only and does not affect tuition-based merit or need-based aid. Students receiving a book stipend from another agency (e.g., Army ROTC) equal to or greater than UD's award are ineligible.

💡
Strategic Detail
UD covers the cost of required course materials through the University Bookstore each semester for qualifying incoming students who make an official campus visit and file the FAFSA by February 1.

Dependents of UD employees receiving 95% tuition remission, or whose combined remission and university gift aid totals 95% of tuition, are ineligible. Students receiving a book stipend from another agency equal to or greater than UD's award are also ineligible. Starting with fall 2027 admits, the award shifts to need-based (FAFSA-determined) only.
🕵
Who Actually Wins
Incoming first-year, transfer, UD Sinclair Academy and international students starting in fall who visit campus and file the FAFSA by February 1. It's a genuinely easy win — visit campus (which you should do anyway!) and file the FAFSA, and your textbooks are covered every semester.
* GPA/test bands are estimates based on official selectivity and prior cohort profiles. "Who Actually Wins" insights are pulled from external peer-sourced data where students and parents have reported real-world award results. Because colleges can change funding thresholds and deadlines at any time, always verify these details with the institution before finalizing your application strategy.

*GPA and test score ranges are estimates only. UD does not publish strict cutoffs; bands are based on recent class profiles and representative admitted student data.

Superscore Clarity

Does UD superscore? Yes. Dayton uses your highest section scores from multiple SAT or ACT sittings and combines them to maximize your “superscore.”

Does this affect scholarships? Yes—superscores are valid for both admission and scholarship awards. Students may receive larger merit packages if their superscore matches a higher award tier.

If I apply test-optional? That’s fine. No score is required for consideration, but a superscored result will only help if submitted.

Automatic Merit FAQs

Do I need to submit test scores? No—Dayton is test-optional. Grades and course rigor are enough, but high test scores can improve your offer.

Is there a separate application? No—the admission application is used for scholarship review.

Can these stack with other aid? Yes—merit scholarships can stack with need-based and outside scholarships, up to cost-of-attendance limits.

Are these renewable? Yes—up to four years with satisfactory academic standing (usually full-time enrollment and GPA requirements).

Competitive Scholarship FAQs

Are there university-wide competitive scholarships at Dayton? No, only automatic merit scholarships are awarded to all admits; additional funds described in “Hidden Gems” require special eligibility, not a separate university-wide application.

Where can students find more awards? Students should check program, department, and campus service scholarship listings for additional opportunities.

Do any awards require extra applications? Not at the university-wide (flagship) level for the incoming class; see departmental and special population awards for details.

The Berry Summer Thesis Institute (launched 2012, funded by the Berry Family Foundation) provides a $2,000 fellowship, on-campus housing and research expense funding for a 12-week summer research program.

* GPA/test bands are estimates based on official selectivity and prior cohort profiles. "Who Actually Wins" insights are pulled from external peer-sourced data where students and parents have reported real-world award results. Because colleges can change funding thresholds and deadlines at any time, always verify these details with the institution before finalizing your application strategy.

Honors FAQs

Is admission automatic? Students with a 3.8+ GPA/top 10% class rank and ACT 29+/SAT 1340+ are eligible for automatic designation; others considered holistically.

Does Honors delay graduation? No—requirements fit typical 4-year plans.

Are there scholarships? Yes—exclusive funding, such as Berry and Hull, is available for undergraduate research and global experience.
