LIFE

The LIFE scholarship is a state-funded merit program available to eligible students attending Allen University. To qualify for this financial aid opportunity, applicants must be verified South Carolina residents. The state of South Carolina requires the university to confirm residency status before any funds can be disbursed.

To initiate the evaluation process, students must first submit the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). The university initially reviews residency information provided on the FAFSA. Additionally, dependent students are evaluated based on their parents' state of legal residence, while independent students are assessed on their own status. Before the university can release the scholarship payment, students must also complete and submit the South Carolina Residency Evaluation Form along with supporting documents to the Office of Financial Aid. These documents may include a valid South Carolina driver's license, vehicle registration, and state income tax returns. For current deadlines, please see the official page.
