Scholarship Summit Frequently Asked Questions

Yes! Every student who participates in the Scholarship Summit will receive at least $500 per year—guaranteed.

You’ll receive your scholarship results 1–2 weeks after the Summit.

The scholarship you earn at the Summit is awarded for up to 4 years/8 semesters at BJU and is transferable if you change majors.

We want to get to know you—your interests, strengths, goals, and potential. Your award is based on a holistic evaluation, including your faculty interview and your engagement during the event.

No deep preparation is necessary. Come ready to discuss with one of your future professors what you are expecting from college, what you are looking forward to, and what makes you interested in their program (your major).

For participating students, on-campus housing and meals are included at no cost. Parents receive complimentary on-campus meals as well.
(Parents will simply arrange and cover their own off-campus lodging.)

Attire

• You'll see mostly business casual on campus during the day
• If you are attending the performance, you are welcome to dress up for the evening
• Comfortable shoes!

Residence Halls

• Bedding for a twin bed
• Towel + any necessary toiletries

Students have the opportunity to stay in the BJU Residence Halls and experience college life firsthand, or they can join their parents in staying in a local hotel of their choice. Discounted partner hotel options will be available here.

All on-campus meals during the Summit are provided for students and their parents.

While we’re excited to welcome students from all over, we’re not able to provide travel assistance.

The Scholarship Summit is designed as an in-person experience, and participation is required to receive the scholarship. We encourage you to make every effort to attend.

Because the Summit includes interviews, interactive sessions, and experiences that rely on being on campus, virtual participation isn’t available.
