• A student’s enrollment status will be based on the credit hours for
which the student is registered at the conclusion of late registration.
All financial aid awards will be calculated using final registration
information. If it is later determined that attendance in all or some
courses cannot be documented, financial aid awards will be
adjusted. The student will be responsible for repaying any
ineligible funds received.
• Financial aid awards will be disbursed on the first day of
classes provided all required documents and eligibility
requirements are met.
SOURCES OF FINANCIAL AID
There are a variety of financial aid resources available to assist students
with funding their college education. These resources are in the form of
scholarships, grants, loans, or student employment and are made
possible by funding from federal, state, and institutional sources.
Although financial need is a primary factor in financial aid eligibility,
there are financial aid programs available to students who do not
demonstrate financial need. These programs may be awarded based on
residency, merit, academic excellence, talent, and other criteria.
LAGRANGE COLLEGE ACADEMIC SCHOLARSHIPS
LaGrange College recognizes the academic excellence of outstanding
entering freshmen and transfer students by awarding scholarships
ranging from $4,000 to full tuition, room and board. These merit
scholarships are made possible by generous gifts and endowments of
alumni and supporters of LaGrange College. All entering new first year
students are evaluated for academic scholarships during the admission
process. The top new first year students applicants who are accepted for
admission by January 15 are invited to compete for a Presidential
Scholarship. Scholarships are awarded at the following levels:
Presidential Scholarship is a competitive four-year, renewable
academic scholarship awarded to incoming first year students on the
basis of academic achievement in high school, SAT or ACT test scores,
and participation in the Presidential Scholar Competition. Recipients of
this prestigious award receive full tuition, mandatory fees, room, and
board. Presidential Scholarships of Georgia residents eligible for the
HOPE Scholarship and Georgia Tuition Equalization Grant will be
reduced by the value of these State programs. If selected to receive a
Presidential Scholarship, it will supersede all other LaGrange College
scholarship and aid.
