Scholarships and grants – money that does not have to be repaid – are naturally the most sought-after type of financial assistance when attending college.

Upon applying to Elon as an entering student, the Office of Financial Aid offers:

Scholarships & Grants in the Love School of Business

Major-specific Scholarships & Grants

Endowed Scholarships

Students already enrolled at Elon as a declared business major will receive endowed scholarship application information via email in mid-February. The Love School of Business offers a wide variety of endowed scholarships funded by generous donors. These endowed scholarships are available to Love School of Business students each year. The highly competitive application process begins in February and applications are due in March. Scholarship recipients are notified in April, with their scholarship to be applied to their Elon account during the following academic year. For further questions, please contact Shannon Kimball at skimball@elon.edu.

Finding scholarships outside of Elon

Finding scholarships should be a yearly search. Foundations, service clubs, churches, and corporations give away millions of dollars of scholarships each year to worthy students. Many Elon students receive these types of scholarships in addition to financial aid in the form of loans that need to be repaid. Students must seek these scholarships on their own.

If you are unsure where to look for outside scholarships and grants, the following scholarship search engines can help you get started:
