Scholarship Programs

The Leon and Lorraine Watson North Carolina Scholarship Program

Download the 2007-2008 Newsletter to learn more about the Watson Scholars!  Click here!

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.
