We do not have specific merit scholarships for undocumented students. All of our merit scholarships are open to all applicants. Applicants are considered for any merit aid they are eligible for. Most merit aid is based on the strength of the admission application but some merit aid also takes other factors into consideration, like leadership, location, etc.

We are need-blind for all applicants.

If you do not have a Social Security Number (SSN), you do not need to enter anything in the Social Security Number field in the admission application (it is not required). This field refers to U.S. citizens only. Equity and inclusion are central to Simon’s Rock’s mission and values, and we welcome all students, regardless of citizenship status or national origin to apply to the College. This includes students who are undocumented, and students who hold DACA (Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals) status.

We are a very small college (400 students) so we receive fewer applications in general than a larger school. The small size means we receive fewer applications from all groups. We don't receive many applications from undocumented students. I would say at most a couple or a few per year.
