dean's scholarship

Merit-based tuition reduction

A dean's scholarship is a merit-based financial award given by a college or university, typically to students with strong academic records.

It ranks below the most prestigious institutional awards (like a president's or chancellor's scholarship) but above general merit aid: She received a dean's scholarship covering half her tuition.

The specific criteria and amounts vary by institution.
