Regular Decision

Scholarships

$1.84M in itemized awards our coaches recorded, plus 9 full-tuition and full-ride awards valued at typical cost of attendance. Because not every award gets written down, the real total is higher.

How we count
The figures on this page come from the admissions results our students chose to share with us for the Classes of 2025 & 2026: 487 reported decisions across 81 students. Sharing results is voluntary — we can’t require it — so not every student’s outcomes are included, and reported results naturally skew toward good news. That’s why we publish counts and clearly-labeled figures rather than an overall “acceptance rate.” Scholarship totals combine itemized awards with full-tuition and full-ride awards valued at typical cost of attendance, and are an undercount — many awards are never reported. Percentages describe reported results, not a guarantee of any student’s outcome. Questions about any number here: support@deweysmart.com. See also our editorial policy. Last updated August 2026.
