Students who graduate from LUOA are awarded a 50% scholarship toward Liberty University Residential tuition and a 15% discount toward Liberty University Online tuition!
50% Off – Residential Scholarship
LUOA offers a 50% scholarship toward Liberty University Residential tuition
This scholarship combines with a student’s other Liberty scholarships to total 50% of the student’s tuition charge.

Must have graduated high school from Liberty University’s K-12 Online Academy
Enrolled full-time in a degree-seeking program
US citizen or federally eligible non-citizen

Our Students Can Take College Courses While in High School
Our Dual Enrollment courses allow our students to earn college credit for a reasonable price. While a semester of courses at a 4-year college can cost thousands of dollars, we offer college-level courses for a much lower rate.
Did Your Student Start the School Year at Another School?
Perhaps your student began the school year somewhere else, but you’ve decided that it’s time to explore other options. Pending a records review, LUOA allows our students to join in most courses at the 2nd quarter, 2nd semester, and 4th quarter marks. For students who enroll accordingly, tuition is prorated as outlined here.
