Belmont University

The University awards two full-tuition scholarships each academic year. In every other academic year, one additional half-tuition scholarship will be awarded. Students are chosen based on their record of academic achievement and recognition from educational leaders. Selection is based on the following criteria: 1. Academic accomplishment 2. Evidence of involvement in positions of leadership in the school and community 3. Demonstrated financial need 4. Residency near E.S. Rose Park in the Edgehill neighborhood. To be considered for an E.S. Rose scholarship, prospective freshmen must complete their application for admission to Belmont by our December 1 priority application deadline for merit scholarship consideration. Those students who meet that deadline, are admitted to the University, and meet Belmont’s scholarship/residency criteria, will be automatically considered for the award. Notification to scholarship recipients begins in late February.
