Athletic scholarships to Longwood University enable young men and women to attend Longwood University and develop academically, as citizen-leaders, and as a competitive athletes at the Division I level. The ability to provide scholarships for our 14 varsity programs is paramount to establishing and maintaining competitiveness within Big South Conference and against NCAA peer institutions. 

Lancer Scholarship Fund

Named Scholarship Funds
Permanently named scholarship funds provide the backbone of Longwood Athletics' private scholarship support by offering necessary resources in perpetuity.  A named fund may be named for the donor or for someone the donor chooses to honor.  Named athletics scholarships may also be designated for a specific sport.
