Livingstone
Decision sheet
North Carolina · Research checked 2026-07-02 · School research, not an aid offer
The starting point
Livingstone, an HBCU, names several merit scholarships (the Anthony J. Davis Presidential, Trustees, Honors, and Holistic awards) but does not publish their amounts or criteria online — the President has publicly offered a Presidential Scholarship to students with a 3.5+ GPA, with a pledge to fill the remaining gap after federal aid.
Selection beyond grades and scores. These awards are not recorded as automatic on grades and scores. Read each award's selection rules, application steps and dates. Meeting a minimum is not an award offer.

Anthony J. Davis Presidential Scholarship
Amount not published · Published award terms
Not recorded as automatic on grades and scores. Read the selection rules.
GPA: Per a Livingstone College news article, the President offered the Presidential Scholarship to students with a 3.5 or higher GPA on a 4.0 scale (needs official confirmation)
Eligibility: Requires a FAFSA (a 'Student Acknowledgement of FAFSA Requirement for Presidential Scholarship' form is required) and a signed Presidential Agreement. Anthony J. Davis Presidential Scholars receive full admission to the Honors Program as freshmen.
Renewal: A '2026-27 Presidential Agreement form,' '2026-27 Presidential Probationary Agreement,' and a 'Student Acknowledgement of FAFSA Requirement for Presidential Scholarship' are listed among the financial-aid forms, implying an annual agreement and probation terms; specific renewal GPA not published.
Other terms: Amount not published on official policy pages. A Livingstone news article quotes the President offering the scholarship to 3.5+ GPA students and stating the college 'would fill any remaining gap' after federal aid (tuition, room, and board total about $26,000). Treat the GPA figure and gap pledge as needs-confirmation (sourced from a college news post, not a scholarship policy page).

Ask before you decide
- Which entering-year policy and residency category apply to us? What are the admission and scholarship deadlines?
- What grades and credits are required to renew, and for how many terms?
- How would other school awards or outside scholarships change the offer?
Recorded stacking policy: Outside scholarships must be reported and the aid package may be adjusted; the only displacement trigger Livingstone states explicitly is total aid exceeding cost of attendance, listed among other eligibility factors.
