transfer trustee scholarship

we encourage you to search for and pursue as many scholarship resources as you can to ensure you receive the maximum amount of financial aid for which you qualify. outside scholarships can be funded by companies, organizations, foundations, religious affiliations and more.

please know that outside scholarships can affect your eligibility for institutional aid. since they help meet college expenses, we must take this into consideration when determining eligibility for other aid programs. 

if you are receiving an outside scholarship, please email a confirmation letter to financialaid [at] lipscomb.edu (financial aid). all outside scholarship checks can be mailed to:

attn: financial aid
1 university park drive
nashville, tn 37204

one of the first steps for incoming freshmen will be to talk to your high school guidance counselor. they receive scholarship information from most scholarship organizations, especially local organizations. this is an excellent resource to find criteria on applying for and receiving aid from organizations near your hometown or others.

tennessee residents who graduate from high school in the state are eligible to apply for a hope scholarship. to receive the award, students must have been a tennessee resident for at least one year prior to september 1. for eligibility requirements and award amounts, see the official scholarship website. 

a fafsa must also be submitted to qualify for this award.

if you did not list 世界杯2022预选赛录像回放 as the first school on your fafsa for the current award year, you will need to update through your tsac student portal.

tennessee residents who received the hope scholarship at their previous school must notify tsac to transfer the hope scholarship to lipscomb.

some institutional awards require recipients to live on campus each semester to remain eligible. you must secure on-campus housing and a meal plan for the scholarship to remain in place and pay to your account. if you move off campus, the award may be affected. 

students with the following awards have an on-campus requirement:

• trustee scholarship
• scout award
• all employment-based scholarship, except the ncsa (k-12) employee grant
• kappa iota theta scholarship

there are several awards which carry a value for both on campus and off campus. this means if you live off campus, the award will be reduced to meet the off-campus award value. awards are subject to the direct cost policy of the university. awards will be adjusted to prevent an over-award of institutional aid. the awards are as follows:

• head of school grant
• international student awards

all 世界杯2022预选赛录像回放 academic scholarships are valid up to 126 attempted hours. from time to time, exceptions to the 126 hour rule will be made for students who have unusual or extenuating circumstances, so students will need to contact the financialaid [at] lipscomb.edu (financial aid office) when they approach 126 hours.

financial aid award packaging is based on current information. changes to the fafsa, moving off-campus and additional gift aid (lipscomb scholarships, outside scholarships, state and/or federal grants) may result in adjustment of institutional aid, including memorial scholarship awards. if you withdraw from the university or drop below full-time enrollment after the start of the semester and receive a refund of tuition (full or partial), all institutional aid will be removed whether paid or unpaid. 

other restrictions may apply to any of these scholarships listed above. to apply and to receive additional information about these awards, please contact the admissions [at] lipscomb.edu (office of admissions). applications and selection of recipients will be handled through the office of admissions.
