Renewal risk profile

Livingstone's published renewal rules cluster around a 3.0 floor with no major-GPA gating, which is survivable for the typical freshman with steady study habits. The risk is non-renewal due to enrollment status (dropping below full-time), not GPA.

How families lose this aid

  • Expecting published scholarship amounts and GPA grids

    Livingstone does not publish merit scholarship amounts or criteria on its website; the named awards (Presidential, Trustees, Honors, Holistic, AME Zion, Hospitality) appear only as agreement forms. You must contact the Financial Aid Office for amounts and eligibility.

Renewal questions families ask

How much are Livingstone's merit scholarships?
Livingstone does not publish merit scholarship amounts online. A college news article reports the President offering a Presidential Scholarship to students with a 3.5+ GPA and pledging to cover the remaining gap after federal aid; confirm specifics with the Financial Aid Office (FinancialAid2@livingstone.edu, 704-216-6069).
What does it take to join the Honors Program?
A 3.70 GPA (4.0 scale), a completed application, full-time enrollment, and a successful interview with the Honors Committee; admission is competitive with limited openings. Anthony J. Davis Presidential Scholars receive full admission as freshmen.

How Livingstone compares across our verified dataset

  • 665 of 749 verified schools publish at least one four-year renewable merit award.

    Livingstone is one of them. The cohort minority (84 schools) only awards one-year scholarships, which means the four-year value families assume on a brochure quote isn't guaranteed at every school.
