Our Promise to You

This is a wonderful opportunity that could cover most of the out-of-pocket costs for eligible students with limited financial situations, and it is right in line with LPU’s mission to develop transformational leaders ready to take God into the world. Life Pacific University guarantees tuition will be covered by grant assistance and other sources for eligible students who qualify.

Frequently asked questions

Is Warrior Promise renewable?

Yes, Warrior Promise is available for up to four years. To be eligible for renewal students must earn at least a 2.5 cumulative GPA and earn with passing grades a minimum of 24 credit hours per academic year. Thirty credit hours per year are preferable to ensure on-time graduation. Students must file a FAFSA and Cal Grant GPA verification each year by the State of California priority deadline and maintain income and need eligibility. Failure in submitting documents could result in loss of scholarship.

Does Warrior Promise require Full-Time Enrollment?

Yes, students are required to be enrolled in a minimum of 12 credits at Life Pacific University for both fall and spring terms. We strongly encourage students to enroll in 15 credits per term to ensure on-time graduation. Continuous enrollment is required to retain the scholarship. If a student withdraws or does not continue each semester, this could result in a loss of the scholarship. Unusual or unexpected circumstances can be reviewed on a case by-case basis.
