The starting point
Louisiana Christian University (the Baptist school in Pineville renamed from 'Louisiana College' in 2021) auto-awards an ACT-based 'LC Scholarship' of $1,350-$2,750 per semester to every new student, then layers competitive full-tuition awards (Smith, STEM to STEAM) and a $6,000/yr President's Leadership Scholarship on top.
More than one award path. Some awards use published academic thresholds. Others have different selection criteria. A score chart does not describe every award at this school.
Awards to discuss
First 3 of 7 recorded awards, in chapter display order. This is a selection, not a ranking. Read the full chapter for all awards. Amounts retain the original units and conditions; confirm the entering year with the school.
LC Scholarship (automatic academic, ACT-based)
$1,350-$2,750 per semester · Published range
Recorded as automatic on academic criteria; all conditions apply.
ACT: 20-22 = $1,350/sem; 23-26 = $1,550/sem; 27 and up = $2,750/sem
Eligibility: Automatically considered for all new students; graduate-level and second-degree students are not eligible
Renewal: Renewal terms not stated on the scholarship grid. The university's general financial-aid eligibility requires maintaining a minimum 'C' average (2.0 GPA) for undergraduates, but the grid itself does not state a scholarship-specific renewal GPA.
Other terms: The Financial Aid Office 'will automatically consider' all new students for this award; no separate application. Amounts are per SEMESTER (double the per-semester figure for an academic-year estimate). STALE-RISK: the only official page publishing this exact grid is a PDF dated 2020/04 on the current lcuniversity.edu domain, still under the school's prior name 'Louisiana College' (renamed 2021). The current /admissions/grants-scholarships/ page no longer republishes the dollar grid and directs applicants to Admissions. Confirm the 2026-27 amounts with the aid office.
