Support Adult Degree Completion
Since 1998, Belmont University has provided a pathway for adult students to complete an undergraduate degree through our Adult Degree Program. Many adult learners juggle family and work responsibilities, often pausing their education multiple times and attending various institutions before transferring to Belmont. As a result, many are at risk of running out of federal financial aid before they can complete their Belmont degree.
Focus and Finish Scholarship
The Focus and Finish Scholarship is designed for adult students aged 25 and older who have earned at least 15 college credits from Belmont University or another institution. Eligible applicants must have a minimum GPA of 2.0 and demonstrate financial need that is not fully met by other resources.
- Your gifts help close the gap: The Focus and Finish Scholarship is essential for many students, as it helps cover costs for classes they still need to take. Without this support, completing their degrees and achieving their personal and professional goals would be difficult. Your contributions are crucial in bridging this gap.
- Positive impacts for Middle Tennessee: Middle Tennessee is where most of Belmont’s adult students live – it’s where they go to work, raise families and put down roots. Donating to the Focus and Finish Scholarship supports adult students in their educational pursuits, positively impacting Middle Tennessee communities. About 80% of adult degree alumni remain in the area after graduation, amplifying the scholarship's benefits locally.
- Gifts of every size can have a major impact: Any gift makes an impact, helping to make Belmont accessible to a diverse group of students eager to create positive change.
Thank you for transforming the lives of current and future adult students through your gifts.
