Freshman Academic Scholarships
You are automatically considered for academic scholarships once you are admitted to Lynchburg College - no separate scholarship application is required.

Scholarships may have different academic expectations than federal, state, and College need-based aid.
With the exception of the Hopwood Scholarship, scholarship eligibility may vary within categories according to actual test scores and grade point average. Therefore, a student with a higher SAT and a lower GPA (or vice versa) than the example stated may still be eligible for a certain scholarship. SAT scores used for scholarship consideration are calculated on a 1600-point scale and include the scores from the Critical Reading and Math sections only.
Should you receive a scholarship, your scholarship letter will indicate the academic standards required for renewal. In addition to the freshman year, scholarships are renewable for three additional years if you maintain renewal eligibility.
You may receive only one of these awards.
Transfer students and students enrolled in our access program (adult learners age 25 and older) are not eligible for these awards. However, these students do receive a discounted tuition rate.
