The Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) is required for students receiving an Academic Excellence Award. The FAFSA is available starting October 1 each year. For just the 24-25 award year, the FAFSA will open in December of 2023. LMU's school code is 003502. Students must enroll at least half-time to be eligible for an Academic Excellence Award, and the amounts are pro-rated based on enrollment status if not enrolled full-time.
All students accepted to LMU will be considered for an Academic Excellence Award. All scholarships are renewable for three additional years, provided the student maintains a cumulative 2.0 GPA.
Academic Excellence Award recipients are expected to take an active part in student life by becoming involved in at least one of the University's recognized student organizations (for which you are not receiving scholarship money) each semester. Recipients are encouraged to complete 10 hours of campus/community service each semester.
NOTE: All academic awards must be applied toward required tuition, books, fees, housing, and food expenses. All other financial aid, including federal, state, and outside scholarships and institutional grants, will be credited to the student's account first, with the academic award picking up the balance of the student's institutional aid eligibility. No cash refunds will be made.
