Nazareth University Makes Paying for College More Accessible and Transparent for Students and Families

New, fully transparent Merit Scholarship Model shows families how much scholarship assistance they'll receive based on GPA; Complements long-standing free application process and new direct admission program

Rochester, NY (11/16/2023) — November is a busy month for high school seniors deciding where to attend college. While students and their families often find expensive application fees and complicated, unclear cost estimates a challenge when making their college choice, Nazareth University is making the application process easier, more accessible, and crystal clear for all students and their families.

New this year, Nazareth now shows families exactly how much students can earn - based on their GPA - in merit scholarships, with this info available right on its website.

Nazareth is also leading the way in letting students know that college is an accessible, affordable opportunity for them by continuing its long-standing no-fee application process (on Common app) and by introducing a new direct admissions program with Common App that lets a student know that Nazareth will accept them on the spot.

In-studio or on-location interviews available with:

  • Danielle Bucci - Vice President, Strategic Enrollment, Marketing and Communications
  • Christie Smith - Associate Vice President, Undergraduate Admissions
