Eastern University’s policy for scholarships and grants does not permit this scholarship to be stacked with other merit-based scholarships, or with the Young Life or Fellowship of Student Athletes Grants. Need-based aid is also calculated after all merit-based awards are considered, rather than independently of them. For questions about how this scholarship will combine with the rest of your financial aid package, please contact the Financial Aid Office at 610-225-5102.
