Important Eligibility Requirements
All institutional aid is subject to coordination with federal, state, institutional, and outside aid policies. In most cases, institutional aid is limited to 100% of tuition for students living on campus in the residence halls and 75% for commuter students. Some exceptions exist for premier academic and elite talent awards. Federal grants and outside awards are applied to Evangel charges before EU institutional scholarships and grants. The sum of all gift aid from inside and outside of EU is capped at direct costs. Institutional scholarships are non-refundable and cannot roll from term to term. Full time enrollment and a 2.0 cumulative GPA is required to receive and renew institutional scholarships and grants. (Note: A 3.0 minimum GPA is required for students receiving the VSP/Founders Scholarship.)
Evangel scholarships and grants are supported by the generosity of donors. Students are required to complete a Scholarship Profile Survey each year. The survey is part of the registration checklist on the student portal. The survey will not result in an increase in scholarships but will be used to match the institutional scholarships received with potential donor related funds. When a match is found, institutional scholarships may be underwritten or replaced by private and/or endowed funds.
Institutional policies and scholarships are subject to change.
The following scholarships and grants are available to students enrolling at Evangel for the first time in the 2023-2024 academic year. Refer to the website for complete scholarship information. All institutional aid is subject to coordination with federal, state, institutional, and outside aid policies.
