They are based on need and merit (GPA3.0), or on merit alone (not available to Freshmen). Pellegrini grants are paid in two installments directly to the recipient’s school at the beginning of the Fall and Spring se- mesters, upon official registration confirmation. These grants do not renew automatically, but may be applied for each year.
