Middle America Scholarship
Are you a member of a working-class family who feels that your scholarship opportunities are limited? At Liberty University we are here to help solve this problem!
Many students come from families who earn too much to be awarded any significant government grants but not enough to pay for college out of pocket. We want to make sure that you have the opportunity to attend Liberty at an affordable cost despite this. Our new Middle America Scholarship is designed for someone like you, who is a part of America’s middle class and seeking higher education at an accredited university.
How Can You Receive This Scholarship?
Because there is no application process for this scholarship, the amount you qualify for will be automatically added towards your account. If your Expected Family Contribution (EFC), as determined by the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA), is between 1 and 18,000, you will receive the Middle America Scholarship up to the equivalent of the full Federal Pell Grant amount each year when combined with the Liberty Champion scholarship.
Scholarship Amount
With the Middle America Scholarship, you can receive up to $5,345 per year in financial aid. The amount you could receive may fluctuate from year to year depending on any Federal Pell Grant amount received.
This scholarship is also stackable with other Liberty aid but cannot be combined with Dependant Grant-In-Aid (DGIA), Continuing Education (CE), or any athletic scholarships, and is subject to the General Scholarship Rule.
Eligibility Requirements
- Verified FAFSA with an EFC between 1 and 18,000
- New resident undergraduate student* starting in Spring 2020
- Enrolled full-time in a degree-seeking program
- U.S. citizen or federally eligible non-citizen
- Complete Financial Check-In
Program criteria and amounts are evaluated each year and subject to change.
*A student must have completed 12 or fewer credit hours through Liberty to be considered a “new student” for eligibility purposes.
