Pepperdine University requires that its students understand and
agree to certain
terms and conditions regarding all financial
assistance awards. These terms are updated each year and will be
listed on your award notification.
Special Achievement Scholarships:
Many of the departments at Pepperdine
award scholarships to students who demonstrate strong talent in the
areas of athletics, music, art, theatre, debate, science, etc. If you
are interested in applying for special achievement scholarships in
areas such as music or theatre, please contact the appropriate
academic division regarding application requirements and deadlines.
Academic scholarships:
Pepperdine University’s academic scholarship
program rewards the academic achievement of a select group of
entering freshmen and transfer students. Award recipients typically
represent the students admitted to Pepperdine with the highest grade
point averages (as Pepperdine calculates them) and the highest
standardized test scores. The number of award recipients varies with
each year.
The rewards are renewable for as many as four years total.
Students who receive academic scholarships must maintain at least a
3.25 GPA and full-time status, and may not be placed on academic or
disciplinary probation while at Pepperdine. For those students who
apply and qualify for need-based financial assistance, the academic
scholarship will become part of the financial assistance package,
coordinated with other awards, and may be adjusted according to
financial need.
Pepperdine Grant:
Pepperdine Grant funds are made available from University
resources. This grant is based on the student's total need and
overall strength as an applicant to the University. The Pepperdine
Grant is awarded as a supplement to a student's financial assistance
package.
Outside/Private Scholarships:
Private scholarships, many of which are based on merit or special
criteria, are an increasingly important source of funding for
students. Pepperdine administers private scholarships which are
called “restricted scholarships.” Please see below for additional
information. You may also research outside/private scholarship
sources in scholarship books which can be found in most libraries, or
refer to some suggested sites on our
Outside/Private
page. If you are on campus, you are also welcome to use the
reference information located in the Office of Student Financial
Assistance to research outside scholarships sources. Outside/ Private
scholarships must be coordinated with the need-based award according
to established University policies. You may also research outside
scholarships on the internet.
Pepperdine University Restricted Scholarships:
Pepperdine University has many restricted scholarship and loan
programs which are administered by the Office of Student Financial
Assistance. These funds are provided by private donors who strongly
believe in the importance of assisting worthy students who
demonstrate ability to benefit from the educational system offered by
Pepperdine University. Recipients of these scholarships and loans are
selected on the basis of financial need and/or merit by the
appropriate foundation or scholarship agency or by the Office of
Student Financial Assistance.
