Does Johns Hopkins University offer merit scholarships?

Question

I’m trying to figure out how to plan for college costs, and I keep seeing different things about Johns Hopkins. I know some schools mainly give need-based aid, but I’m not sure whether Hopkins also gives merit scholarships based on academics or extracurriculars.

I’m just looking for a clear answer on whether merit scholarships are part of their financial aid options.

Accepted Answer

No, Johns Hopkins University does not offer traditional merit scholarships for academic or extracurricular achievement. Its undergraduate financial aid is primarily need-based, meaning aid is awarded based on demonstrated family financial need rather than grades, test scores, or awards. Hopkins does have strong need-based aid options, but that is different from a merit scholarship.

The main exception to keep in mind is that Johns Hopkins may offer some specialized scholarships or funding tied to specific programs, research, or outside sources, but those are not general university merit scholarships for incoming undergraduates. So if your question is whether a strong application alone can earn you a scholarship award from Hopkins, the answer is no.
