The Eisenhower Scholarship is Gettysburg College's most selective scholarship–$160,000 for four years of full-time study ($40,000 per year). It is awarded to top-performing applicants within a most challenging curriculum who have demonstrated a high level of civic engagement locally, nationally, and/or internationally. More information about the Eisenhower Scholarship including application requirements and process is on our website.

Additionally, Gettysburg College recognizes students' academic achievement in high school by awarding four categories of academic merit scholarships under Early Decision and Regular Decision.

• Abraham Lincoln Scholarship–$32,000 per year
• Presidential Scholarship–$27,000 per year
• David Wills Scholarship –$24,000 per year
• 1832 Founders Scholarship–$15,000 per year

Decisions on merit scholarship recipients are made as part of the admissions process. A separate application is not required. All students, including those who apply test optional, are considered.

As of Dec. 2018, the College Board has started a new scholarship program that is not merit based. These scholarships are known as College Board Opportunity Scholarships.  All scholarships are awarded through a raffle.

• Students earn chances at scholarships by competing key actions along the path to college. Scholarships are awarded monthly through drawings among all eligible students.

• Scholarships do not require an application/essay.
• Students who complete all six actions are eligible for the $40,000 scholarships (25 available).
