In addition to need-based financial aid, we also offer the following Merit and Augustinian scholarships. New Villanova students may only apply for and/or receive one scholarship.
Villanova Merit Scholarships are offered to new high school students who score at or above the 90th percentile nationally on the High School Placement Test (HSPT)* or Secondary School Admission Test (SSAT). Students may take either (or both!) and the top score will be considered. If a student takes a test at a site other than Villanova, please have the test site administrator submit the score to Villanova. Villanova's Board of Directors is able to approve $100K in merit scholarships annually and should an incoming class have more merit scholarship recipients than budget for, the school will equitably distribute scholarships in amounts as close as possible to published amounts. Merit Scholarships, once awarded, are honored for all years of attendance.
If awarded a scholarship and more aid is required for a student to attend Villanova, they may also apply for financial aid.
Named after Augustinian friars who taught at Villanova, Augustinian Scholarships are awarded to new Villanova students who show promise in a particular field or area of focus. The Scholarship Committee, composed of members of the Admission Team and Villanova faculty, review applications each spring and award scholarships that are applied for the coming school year. Augustinian Scholarships, once awarded, are honored for all years of attendance. Scholarships average between $3-5K.
If awarded a scholarship and more aid is required for a student to attend Villanova, they may also apply for financial aid.
Applications for the 2026-27 school year are due February 1, 2026, and then on a rolling basis if still available.
