Congratulations President’s Scholar!
We commend you for your scholarship, leadership and service, and look forward to the many contributions you will make to the PLU community!
As a PLU President’s Scholar, you will receive a $34,000 scholarship per year.*
*Please note that any Presidential Scholarship replaces the lower PLU academic scholarship you may have already been awarded.
You also have the opportunity to come to campus for the Presidential Scholarships Event on February 23 to interview for the $40,000 per year Harstad Founder’s Scholarships and the full tuition Regents’ Scholarships.
If you haven’t been to campus yet, you’ll receive the $1,000 per year Visit Scholarship when you come for the scholarship event (and yes, it will stack on top of your President’s Scholarship)!
