Elizabethtown College provides opportunities for scholarship assistance in numerous ways. The two major categories of scholarships are merit-based scholarships and endowed scholarships. Merit-based scholarships are awarded by the Admissions Office based on prior academic performance. The amount of the merit-based scholarship remains the same for each year. Endowed scholarships are given to students persuing certain specific fields of study, or students with particular bio- and demographical information.
