Grove City College is launching a new merit-based scholarship and mentoring program designed to attract and develop the nation’s most promising students.
The exclusive President’s Scholarship Program, an initiative of new College President Bradley J. Lingo ’00, provides students who demonstrate academic excellence with high scores on standardized tests and a strong high-school GPA with an annual, renewable grant of $7,500, which represents a third of the College’s annual tuition.
“We want the nation’s most promising students to join our vibrant community, receive a rigorous education, and launch into positions of service and influence around the country. Grove City College is unabashedly committed to academic excellence.” Lingo said. “By investing in these exceptional students, we are investing in the future of our nation. This scholarship will allow recipients to graduate with less debt and more freedom to lead and serve.”
President’s Scholars will have exclusive opportunities to engage with Lingo, network with distinguished alumni, and participate in enrichment programs tailored to help them realize their God-given potential.
The scholarship will be available to incoming freshmen beginning in the fall of 2026 and will renew annually if they maintain a cumulative 3.3 GPA. In addition to a 3.5 high school GPA, eligibility is based on achieving an SAT score of 1400, an ACT score of 31, or a Classical Learning Test (CLT) score of 100.
The President’s Scholarship is one of the most significant merit-based scholarship programs that the College has ever offered. It is part of an array of institutional financial aid available thanks to the generosity of the College’s donors. Because the College does not accept any federal funding, all need- and merit-based scholarships are funded by donations and proceeds from its endowment.
President’s Scholarships can be combined with institutional aid, outside scholarships, and state grants up to the full cost of attendance.
