One Fellowship
The One Fellowship is designed to prepare Liberty University undergraduate students to excel with a holistic approach to student development that consists of rigorous guidance through character development, academic support, service learning, and family involvement. The One Fellowship will foster student success through experiential learning opportunities.
What is the One Fellowship?
The One Fellowship seeks individuals who are first-generation, passionate about diversity, community engagement, and spiritual growth, and are willing to invest what they learn into the university and their respective environments. Our students should be curious, knowledge seekers, prepared to engage in challenging discussions, empathetic, and kind. The Office of Opportunity and Enrichment, through the One Fellowship, seeks to develop just that, strong and integral future leaders.
Being a part of One Fellowship requires diligence, commitment, and honor. Students should evaluate their current and future obligations to ensure that One Fellowship is the right fit for their collegiate experience.
*Applicants must have a 3.0 or higher to be accepted.
What is One Fellowship with Honors?
The One Fellowship also offers an additional scholarship for superior academic achievement, known as the “One Fellowship with Honor” Scholarship. The “One Fellowship with Honor” Scholarship is for ONE Fellows who have a cumulative GPA of 3.5 and above at the end of each semester and have been a fellow for at least one prior semester. This scholarship grants an additional $1,000 per year.

Are you a ONE Fellowship Parent?
As a parent, you may often wonder what is going on in your student’s life while they are away from home. You may ask questions like, is my student safe? Are they turning in their homework? Are they eating right? The questions go on and on. The One Fellowship works hard to keep family involvement as a priority. We want you to know how you can assist your student with their success journey.
Practical Support: Your student is more than likely going to be extremely busy, so don’t be sad if they don’t respond to your text or phone call. Try to set a schedule weekly or bi-weekly to chat with your student. Additionally, you can check out our Parent & Family Connections Office for more information on what parental support our University offers.
Spiritual Support: Prayer is indeed an important key to spiritual support. Also, text your student an encouraging word every so often without the expectation of them responding. I guarantee they read the text, sometimes things just need to sink in. Check out the Office of Spiritual Development to see what spiritual programs your student is a part of.
