The Archer Presidential Scholarship is Belmont's most competitive scholarship, awarded to approximately five incoming first-year students. The scholarship provides full tuition, room, board, books, and fees for four academic years of continuous study. Traditionally, twelve finalists are invited to personally interview on campus for this award. Selection criteria include a review of academic and leadership accomplishments. Students must complete their admission application to Belmont by the Early Action I deadline of November 1. Students may visit the scholarship's website or contact the Student Financial Services for more information.
