Tuition & Aid

Lindenwood’s academic merit scholarships are awarded at time of admission and are based on a holistic review of a student’s academic profile. All first-year and transfer applicants admitted to the University will be reviewed for an academic merit award at time of admission. Academic merit is renewable for students who remain in good academic standing.
