An Elon education emphasizes engaged experiences that transform the way students see the world. The Odyssey Program, which is a part of the Center for Access and Success, is a highly selective merit-based program consisting of talented individuals who are academically strong, civically engaged, action-oriented leaders in their communities, who will benefit from an Elon education and demonstrate high financial need.  Scholarships range from $25,000 - $30,000 annually and are part of a financial aid offer that meet a student’s full demonstrated financial need.

Each of the scholarships listed below is housed within the Odyssey Scholars Programs. Students complete one application and are considered for all scholarships for which they are eligible.
