Barry University Stamps Scholarship 2027: key facts
Barry University and the Stamps Scholars Program select high-achieving students who combine strong academics with leadership and service. The programme is designed for new first-year students beginning an undergraduate degree. It is separate from ordinary admission: applicants must first be admitted to Barry, meet the scholarship criteria and then submit the Stamps materials through the MyBarry account.
The official page states that completed applications are accepted from 15 September until 15 December. Semifinalists are normally invited to a virtual interview in early February, followed by finalist interviews with a Stamps representative in March. Final decisions are expected in late March.
What does the scholarship cover?
- Renewable tuition support;
- Required books;
- University housing and meals;
- Transportation support;
- An additional US$6,000 for study abroad or another approved extraordinary learning experience;
- Faculty academic advising;
- Leadership training, service activities and cultural experiences; and
- Access to the national Stamps Scholars network.
The university describes the award as renewable, but recipients must continue to satisfy the programme’s academic and participation conditions. Applicants should review the final award terms issued by Barry University before accepting.
Who can apply?
- First-year undergraduate applicants planning to begin at Barry University in 2027;
- U.S. citizens, residents and international students;
- Applicants with a minimum cumulative high-school GPA of 3.5;
- Students who demonstrate sustained leadership, service and involvement;
- Applicants who secure admission to Barry University and receive access to the MyBarry scholarship application.
Meeting the minimum GPA does not guarantee selection. The scholarship is competitive and evaluates academic achievement, leadership record, communication and potential contribution to the Barry community.
Required scholarship materials
The official Stamps page lists these materials for a complete application:
- The online Stamps Scholarship application in MyBarry;
- A letter of recommendation;
- A current résumé describing academic, leadership, service and extracurricular experience; and
- A personal video of no more than three minutes.
The video should explain the applicant’s interests, leadership experience, reasons for joining Barry and the contribution they hope to make to the university community. Barry allows common video-hosting services, but applicants should make sure the review committee can open the submitted link without requesting access.
Admission, fee and language-test notes
Applicants must also complete Barry University’s first-year admission process and provide the academic and identity documents requested in the admissions portal. International applicants may be asked for evaluated academic records, financial certification and proof of English proficiency according to their educational background.
The scholarship page does not list a separate Stamps application fee. It also does not publish one universal English-test score or waive Barry’s wider international admission requirements. Applicants should follow the personalized admissions checklist and should not assume that the scholarship application replaces admission or immigration documentation.
