The Bloustein Distinguished Scholarship is a $930-$1,000 annual award, renewable for a total of eight semesters of undergraduate study. A merit-based award, its recipients are chosen during the fall of their senior year of high school. Eligibility criteria are combined SAT scores and class rank. Standards are set by the State. Currently, recipients must have scored a combined 1260 or higher on the SAT and be ranked first, second or third in their class at the end of the junior year (but at least in the top ten percent). Financial need is not a criterion for selection or renewal. No application form is necessary.
