Alumni Legacy Scholarship

Additional Information

Eligibility Requirements

The Alumni Legacy Scholarship honors the legacy of our alumni while continuing to support the exceptional program and environment afforded by our campus. The Scholarship aims to perpetuate the legacy of the Seton Hall University tradition by providing financial opportunities to academically talented students with close familial ties to Seton Hall University graduates. Please note: This award is very competitive, with a small number of recipients selected each year from a large applicant pool. Additionally, this scholarship is not guaranteed for all applying legacy students.

Applying students must meet the following requirements:

1. Be a current Seton Hall undergraduate student (rising sophomore, junior, senior)
2. Have a parental, grandparental, or sibling relationship to a Seton Hall graduate
3. Minimum 3.0 GPA

Application Procedures

To be considered for the Alumni Legacy Scholarship, students will complete an application which will include explanation of alumni connection(s), academic achievements, community service, your experience at Seton Hall, etc. Applications will be reviewed and awarded by the Seton Hall University Alumni Board of Directors. Applications are reviewed and notified by the first week of June. Scholarship recipients will be expected to complete a 20-hour internship with the Department of Alumni Engagement and Philanthropy throughout the course of the academic year the scholarship has been awarded.

Renewal Procedures

Scholarships are awarded annually in the amount of $5,000 each. The award is not automatically renewed, and recipients are eligible to submit an application for subsequent academic years.
