The starting point
DRAFT: Lynn awards broad-band merit money down to a 2.0 high school GPA, tops it with two full-tuition tracks (Presidential adds room and board; Top Achievers for National Merit Scholars/finalists), and caps outside scholarships at direct tuition-and-fees cost.
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.
Awards to discuss
First 3 of 5 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.

Presidential Scholarship
Full tuition (up to 16 credits per semester) plus university-provided standard room and board · Variable or qualified amount
Not recorded as automatic on grades and scores. Read the selection rules.
GPA: 3.65+ HS GPA if test scores not considered for admission; 3.5+ HS GPA if test scores considered · SAT: 1050 minimum (with the 3.5 GPA path) · ACT: 20 minimum (with the 3.5 GPA path)
Eligibility: Incoming, admitted, first-year full-time student; nomination/invitation to apply
Renewal: Catalog body text: 'renewable when a 3.0 GPA is maintained'; but the same page's SAP section requires a 3.5 cumulative GPA for Presidential renewal — CONFLICT, see Section C.
Other terms: Catalog text references an application date of 'February 20, 2022' — stale; current cycle dates unknown. This is bigger than full tuition: it adds standard room and board (still not full COA — fees, books, personal costs excluded).
