Belmont’s campus is centered between popular neighborhoods, Hillsboro Village and 12 South— neighborhoods that combine the best of coffee shops and ice cream parlors, quirky boutiques, parks and biking trails and diverse eateries—perfect for meeting up with friends. In this community, the excitement of a fast-paced metropolitan city meets the friendly welcome of Southern charm. But the fun doesn’t stop there.

Scholarships & Financial Aid I N VE S TI NG I N YOUR F U TURE
Belmont awards a variety of academic merit scholarships to qualified admitted freshmen each year. We make it easy to apply‌ in fact, your application for admission serves as your application for merit scholarships. General freshman academic merit scholarships range from $3,000 to $10,000 annually. General freshman academic merit scholarship notification is made via U.S. Mail following the offer of admission. Recipients of the University’s most competitive and highest merit-based scholarships represent approximately the top two percent of the freshman applicant pool and must have completed the application file by December 1. General freshman academic merit scholarships do not require the December 1 deadline; admitted students are considered for these awards on a rolling basis following the offer of admission. To receive any form of need-based aid from Belmont University, you should complete and return the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) by December 1, 2020, for Fall 2021 enrollment.
