Lenoir-Rhyne Promise
Make access to a college degree accessible and affordable.
The Lenoir-Rhyne Promise (LR Promise) is a Lenoir-Rhyne University program focused on making college more accessible and affordable while recognizing the academic achievements of high-performing students. The LR Promise rewards first-year undergraduate students who have a minimum 3.5 high school GPA at the time of admission with a financial aid package worth at least 50 percent of the cost of tuition. No student or parent loans are packaged as part of the LR Promise.
The LR Promise is also open to transfer undergraduate students who are transferring from an accredited community college and have more than 30 earned credit hours from that institution and a 3.5 GPA at time of admission at LR.
The LR Promise was first awarded to students enrolling in fall 2020 and does not apply to students who began enrollment prior to that term. However, financial aid staff are always happy to meet with students to review their financial aid package and make adjustments as appropriate.
Request InformationThe Lenoir-Rhyne Promise is a guaranteed financial aid package worth at least half the cost of tuition for full-time undergraduate first-year and transfer students.
