Pacific Lutheran University (PLU) offers a variety of scholarship options for students, including merit-based, need-based, and program-specific awards. Merit scholarships, such as the President’s Scholarship, recognize academic excellence and range from $18,000 to $30,000 annually. Need-based aid is determined through FAFSA or WASFA applications.
Program-specific scholarships include those for music, art, STEM, and humanities. Transfer students and international students may also qualify for dedicated awards. Additionally, PLU provides church-related scholarships for Lutheran students. Applicants are automatically considered for most scholarships upon admission, though some require separate applications or portfolios.
