FOUNDERS SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM

Evangel’s Founders Scholarship students represent some of the best and brightest students on Evangel’s campus. If you’re a high-achieving high school senior, your hard work and dedication to academic excellence could give you the opportunity to receive a scholarship ranging from $13,000 to $25,000, renewable for up to 4 years.*

As a Founders Scholar, you will be challenged academically by our outstanding faculty, encouraged to grow in faith and develop a deep spiritual understanding, and prepared to excel in future careers and graduate studies.

*Note: The Founders Scholarship is only available to traditional undergraduate students attending our main campus. Students are required to be full time and live in one of our residence halls each term the Founders Scholarship is received. When choosing to commute to campus after being awarded a Founders Scholarship, please contact our Financial Aid Office to determine all other scholarship programs for which you might be eligible. These awards are premium merit scholarships and may not be combined with other EU tuition discounts (with exception of need-based grants, endowed scholarships and athletic scholarships). The Founders Scholarship is renewable for up to four years with a minimum 3.0 GPA. Living on campus is required.
