Student-athletes can compete in sports like rock climbing, hockey, paintball, skiing and snowboarding, and crew on 40+ Club Sports teams. Liberty’s 20+ different intramural sports invite students to participate in various leagues and tournaments throughout the year, so no matter your experience level, you know you can stay active.
Local and Global Service
At Liberty, service brings students together through a Christ-centered community — Training Champions for Christ as students look out for each other and love one another with a servant’s attitude all while doing life together.
Liberty students volunteered more than half a million hours of community service last year. Through LU Serve, you can make a difference in the local community — 100% of Liberty students volunteer every semester at local churches, mentoring programs, soup kitchens, and more.
If you want to serve on a national or global level, LU Send Now provides humanitarian relief to communities suffering from natural disasters. Teams have served in areas including California, Puerto Rico, and Mexico.
Plentiful Scholarship and Financial Aid Options
Liberty’s Middle America Scholarship helps supplement working families and their children with aid that would not normally be available to them. For families earning typically between $35,000 and $95,000, this scholarship could provide up to $5,495 in need-based aid for their students every year.
Our generous Valedictorian/Salutatorian Scholarship covers 100% of tuition for students at the top of their class, and the Liberty Virginia High-Achiever Scholarship awards Virginia residents for maintaining a GPA of 3.0 or higher while enrolled at Liberty.
Completing your Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) is your first step to be considered for federal grants, work-study, loans, or other Liberty University scholarships. Once you submit your FAFSA and complete Liberty’s Financial Check-In, you can also receive up to $600 in Book Dollars your first semester to help cover the cost of textbooks.
