Liberty University’s Early Action Scholarship

You can apply as an early action student if you meet all of the following criteria:

1. You are a new or transfer student.
2. You plan to complete a residential, undergraduate program at Liberty.
3. You are a degree-seeking student (which means you don’t fall into one of our Special Student categories).

We typically do not have strict deadlines for college applications. You can apply whenever you’re ready, and your application will be reviewed regardless of when it was submitted.

However, Liberty does have set deadlines for early action student applications. If you meet these deadlines, you can become eligible for additional scholarships!

We still accept all applications on a rolling basis, so there’s no penalty for applying after the early action deadline. But if you want to receive early action student benefits, we encourage you to apply as early as possible! Be sure to complete our admission steps by the dates listed above. That way, you can receive an early decision from our admissions committee and take next steps toward joining the Liberty family.

As an early applicant, you will follow the same admission requirements as all other students. The only difference is that you’ll need to apply by certain deadlines (outlined above).

All students, including early action students, must follow Liberty University’s application requirements. Be sure to submit all necessary items in a timely manner, including your high school transcripts, admission essay, and Liberty University’s Enrollment Deposit.

Yes! Applying through our early action program is a great way to increase your scholarship options — but it’s not the only way to receive institutional aid. Check out our available scholarships for more information about Liberty’s scholarship deadlines.

At Liberty, we’re committed to giving all students an equal chance of being admitted. We evaluate all applications according to the same standards, and our admission decisions rely on the strength — rather than the timing — of your application.

Whether or not you apply early, having a strong academic record, and submitting all necessary documentation will help improve your chances of being accepted.
