Day at The Valley – November 8
— Lebanon Valley College
Undergraduate Admission
Applying is Easy
Welcome to the first step of going further in your life! All first-year undergraduate students can choose to use our application (free with no essay) or apply using the Common App. If you’re a transfer or part-time student, please use our LVC application.
We offer rolling admissions for most undergraduate programs at LVC, so you can apply when the time is right for you. For stronger scholarship consideration (including our full tuition scholarship) and faster enrollment, we recommend you apply by our Early Action November 1 deadline. Applying Early Action will guarantee your admission decision by November 15.
*Please note Early Action decisions are subject to receipt of all required materials. Direct admit decisions for programs such as Physical Therapy, Athletic Training, Speech Language Pathology, Nursing, and Clinical Mental Health Counseling may not be finalized by November 15.
LVC Merit Scholarships Guarantee
It’s simple: apply, get accepted, and receive one of five guaranteed scholarships! As an undergraduate student admitted for the 2025–26 academic year, your merit award will include at least $27,000 in annual renewable scholarships per year—guaranteed—and could be as high as $35,000 per year. That means you could get up to $140,000 in LVC scholarships recognizing your achievements!
