International students are automatically considered for academic scholarships once they’re admitted to the University of Lynchburg. No separate scholarship application is required. A student may be eligible for the following scholarships if they are not a U.S. citizen, permanent resident, or eligible non-citizen.

Scholarship letters indicate academic standards required for renewal. In addition to the first year, scholarships are renewable for each year the student attends the University of Lynchburg, if renewal eligibility is maintained. Students may receive only one scholarship award. Students also must reside on campus and be enrolled full-time to be eligible for this scholarship.
