The Leon and Lorraine Watson North Carolina Scholarship
Program aids North Carolina students who wish to attend Elon
University and who have demonstrated self-determination,
community involvement, and academic excellence.
SCholarship recipients receive programmatic
opportunities that ensure they will be able to obtain the
maximum benefit of an Elon education. Watson
Scholarship recipients participate in a four-year program
demonstrating the best qualities of an Elon education.
The program encourages full participation in all five
components of the Elon Experiences: leadership development,
service learning, study abroad, internship, and undergraduate
research. Watson Scholarship recipients will receive a
financial aid award toward the cost of tuition, fees, room,
and board. Each annual aid award will include a Watson
Scholarship and the North Carolina Legislative Tuition Grant.
Other scholarships and grants will vary. The goal
will be to meet the direct costs of the university or the
student's full financial need, whichever is less.
In addition, each recipient will receive a one-time
grant to fund a study abroad experience. To
apply, contact the Admissions Office or visit here.
