Non-Traditional Student Financial Aid
Your situation is unique, and so are your financial aid options. Choose the path that best describes you to see your options.
No aid or scholarships are available for students who do not seek a degree, licensure or certification.
For more information or if you have additional questions, please email %C2%A0financialaid [at] lipscomb.edu (Financial Aid.)
Students who were initially enrolled at Lipscomb as first-time freshmen but have been away from Lipscomb for more than one semester:
The initial-entry scholarship will not be offered if the student's intention was to withdraw from Lipscomb and enroll in another school for a semester or more as a regular student (not a visiting student). Students taking less than full-time summer classes while at home for summer break are excluded from this policy. As a general rule, leaving Lipscomb in the fall or spring term to enroll in another college or university will result in transfer student status upon return.
Students away from Lipscomb for more that one semester will be awarded at the transfer scholarship scale, based on the most recent Lipscomb GPA.
For more information or if you have additional questions, please email %C2%A0financialaid [at] lipscomb.edu (Financial Aid.)
No institutional aid is available for students seeking a second bachelor's degree. You may, however, qualify for federal aid. See more here.
