Barry University Scholarship Policies 

  • Enrollment Policy: To be eligible for a Barry University scholarship, you must be enrolled at the university.
  • Disbursement Policy: Scholarships are disbursed in the fall and spring semester following the selection of recipients and are directly credited to the recipients' Barry student accounts. Most annual awards up to $1,000 are credited for the full amount in the fall semester. Awards of $1,000 or more are divided equally between the fall and spring semesters. If a student does not attend a portion of the school year, undisbursed funds are returned to the scholarship fund for a future award.
  • Financial Aid: The Financial Aid Office offers financial aid packages in accordance with federal, state, and institutional regulations. Financial aid offers may not exceed a student’s estimated cost of attendance. Students who are recipients of other need based aid may not be eligible for the full amount of a scholarship that they receive. Contact your financial aid counselor if you have questions about how a scholarship might impact your financial aid package.
  • Cancellation Policy: Barry University reserves the right to revoke a scholarship if the recipient is found to not meet the published criteria under which the recipient was initially selected.
