Tuition Reimbursement Policy

Lindenwood University encourages all students to apply for any outside assistance for which they may be eligible. Scholarships, grants, or tuition benefits from outside private, corporate, nonprofit institutions, or organizations provide other ways to help finance undergraduate and graduate education. Students must report all anticipated outside resources, including scholarships, grants, fellowships, tuition benefits, veteran benefits, or any other type of financial resources, to the Office of Evening and Graduate Admissions when the application process begins. Lindenwood admissions/financial aid representatives can advise prospective students of the policies and procedures for dealing with employee reimbursement, grants, and scholarships.  In certain cases, certain outside benefits may reduce student eligibility for other financial aid or loans. Under NCAA rules, athletes must report the reason for their external awards, whether given based on athletic ability or other criteria such as academic merit or interest, non-athletic talent, ethnicity, residency, employment affiliation, etc. In certain circumstances, NCAA student-athletes may not be eligible to accept outside awards.
