Interviews
Interviews are intended to give information to the Scholarship Awards Committee beyond what is possible on the application. There will also be activities to help the candidate become better acquainted with Evangel University. The Founders Scholarship committee is comprised of faculty members and administrators from Evangel. The selection process is assigned to the Scholarship Awards Committee. After its review of all applications, the committee will select finalists to be given interviews.

This premium merit scholarship may not be combined with other EU tuition discounts (with exception of need-based grants, endowed scholarships and athletic scholarships).
