The Application Process
- Gather your materials. In addition to your application form, we’ll need to receive an official transcript and your letter of recommendation.
- Submit your application. You can apply through the Common Application or through the Thomas application (online or by mail).
- Begin the financial aid process. With your application to Thomas, we’ll automatically consider you for merit-based scholarships. Students seeking financial assistance other than merit-based scholarships should file a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA)

Learn more about our merit based scholarships
Here’s where your hard work starts to pay off—literally. We know that you’re invested in your education, and merit-based scholarships are one way of recognizing your continuing success.
To qualify for a merit-based scholarship, apply to Thomas and be accepted. There’s no additional application, and all of these awards are renewable every year you study at Thomas as long as you meet basic criteria. In addition to assistance granted with your acceptance to Thomas, we offer scholarships for new students based on select criteria—and many scholarships for students after their first years at Thomas.
You may qualify for merit-based financial aid without filing a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA), but we strongly encourage all families to file this application for need-based aid to ensure that you are eligible for all the assistance available to you. Thomas College is an NCAA Division III institution and therefore does not offer athletic scholarships of any kind.
