The Lincoln Scholars Program covers the full cost of attendance at Centre College for ten first-year students a year, and adds mentoring plus three fully funded summer enrichment experiences.
It is explicitly open to international students as well as domestic and gap year applicants. Test scores are not required; selection weighs achievement in challenging coursework alongside character, leadership and persistence.
Both the admission and scholarship applications are due 1 December, with no application fee. Around 40 finalists go through a virtual selection process, and recipients are named in early March.
