University Merit-Based Scholarships

Newly admitted students are automatically considered for Institutional-Funded Scholarships (IFS) based on the strength of their admission application, including GPA, SAT/ACT test scores, and class rank. No separate application is required.

International students must submit SAT or ACT scores and hold a minimum 3.0 U.S. cumulative GPA to be automatically considered for a merit scholarship. Awards for international students may range up to $21,000 per year for freshmen and up to $10,000 per year for transfer students.

Alumni and Legacy Grants

Alumni Endorsement Grant: $1,000 annually

Legacy Grant: $1,500 annually to children of ERAU Alumni

More information about alumni and legacy grants.

Please note: Students are not eligible for the Alumni Endorsement Grant once they have started their first semester at Embry Riddle as it must be received prior to attending the University.

Cooperative Education/Internships

All students are eligible for opportunities with companies that are leaders in their field. Further information about these opportunities — and the minimum criteria for eligibility — is available through the office of Career Services office.  Please work with CIPS regarding proper authorization to comply with federal regulations. 

On-Campus Employment

There are limited on-campus jobs, which become available to all students on a competitive basis. These positions are limited; however, all students are eligible to apply for them when they become available. Since on-campus jobs are not guaranteed, students should not include an on-campus job in their financial planning to cover the cost of attendance at the University. Please work with CIPS regarding proper on-campus employment authorization.

Payment Plan

Embry Riddle provides a payment plan that allows you to divide charges not covered by financial aid into three or four monthly installments per semester, depending on when you enroll. Allowable charges include tuition, mandatory fees, lab fees and, if applicable, on-campus housing and meal plan. The plan excludes flight costs, books and course materials.

Learn more about enrolling in a payment plan.

Reminder

Many scholarships require students to maintain a minimum GPA in order to remain eligible (if renewable). Changing majors, dropping/failing classes and other factors can also affect your scholarships. Be sure to understand the conditions of your offered aid.
