Presidential and Trustee Scholarhship

Hi! I have questions regarding LMU’s two highest scholarships…

First, did you have to apply EA or ED to be considered? I heard that they inform you at the end of January and that seems like really fast response times if you applied RD. Second, what is the criteria?? I know it’s extremely competitive but do you have any ideas of the average ACT scores? Is it solely based on academics or involvement and accomplishments too? Any info is appreciated!

I am wondering all this as well. I applied ea and have a 4.4 and 34 and i dont know if i have a chance but i really hope so. I am so nervous to hear. I assume we will know in the next 2 wks

Judging from last years’ thread, I think they will send out invitations for the Scholars weekend around Jan. 30th. They should send out scholarship info for EA around that same time. My D has a 4.17 UW and a 34 ACT. We’re really hoping for an invite to Scholars Weekend. In previous years, it looked like kids with a 34 and up were in the running.

I assume no one here knows when we will find out…?

My D just got an email saying she was a Presidential Scholar with $25,000 scholarship. No word on interview for trustee scholarship.

Me too^^

Does anyone know of a way to check Financial Aid status online for LMU to see if/when financial aid awards are made? Also, for the Presidential scholarship, are you able to view this on a certain tab on the LMU Admissions portal?

We don’t have anything showing up as far as financial aid on my D’s My LMU account. The only way we know she got the Presidential is by the email letter she got on Tuesday.
