Linfield University

With the February 1 Regular Decision priority deadline behind us, we wanted to update you on all things admission at Linfield. Most importantly, we are still accepting applications for Fall 2022.

Applications Requirements & Deadlines

Last week, we began waiving the teacher recommendation requirement for all applicants. Students need only submit the Common Application with essay, Linfield Member Questions, School Report and official transcript (as sent by you, the school/college counselor). We feel comfortable making an admission decision for most students without a teacher recommendation. Should we find, in the review process, that additional information is needed, we will contact the student for follow up. We hope this eases a burden on students and teachers.

For Fall 2022, as for Fall 2021, we do not use test scores in the admission process and do not charge an application fee.

We will continue to accept applications. Applications completed by February 15 will receive a reply no later than April 1. Applications completed by March 1 will receive a reply no later than April 15. We will adjust our decision timeline as we continue through the spring. The priority deadline to reply to an offer of admission is Monday, May 2.

Admission Decisions

We continue to release admission decisions, with scholarship offer, electronically each week. Students should be checking their email, including spam, junk or promotions folders, for their decision update. The offer of admission and financial aid is mailed approximately one week later. From the point we receive all required documents to a decision is averaging two weeks.

Scholarships and Financial Aid

The average merit-based scholarship awarded thus far is $23,000 per year. Of our admitted students, 35.7 percent are first generation and have received an average additional First Generation Scholarship of $5,500 per year.

We automatically award our First Generation Scholarship based on the information regarding parental education included on the Common Application. A few students have failed to disclose their parent's highest level of education achieved leading to awards being rescinded. It is important that students read all of the options on the Common Application drop down selections and choose the correct one to avoid these errors. In addition to the scholarship, First Gen students participate in additional orientation and first-year programs designed specifically to help in their transition to and success at Linfield.

Linfield Scholarship and Visit Weekend

Registration for this special on-campus event is open for admitted students until February 14, 2022. This program is the best opportunity we offer students to add merit-based scholarship to reduce their cost at Linfield. More than 90 scholarships of up to $5,000 per year for four years will be awarded and all participating students will receive a minimum of $1,000 renewable scholarship.

Spring Visits

Linfield remains open for campus visits. Monday through Thursday, we offer individual tours with a current student or admission counselor. Beginning Friday, February 18, we will host Wildcat Fridays. These mini-events will feature a campus tour, information session and lunch in our dining hall. A morning program begins at 10:00 a.m. and the afternoon program begins with the optional lunch at 11:45 a.m.

Registration for our Spring Visit Days programs for admitted students will open soon. Those programs will be held on-campus on March 14 and April 4.

Questions and Contacts

We like to hear from you, your students and their parents/guardians. You can contact the admission counselor, Chris Gray, who works with students from your school and area at chris.gray@linfield.edu or by calling the Office of Admission at 503-883-2213.

As always, thank you for the work you do as we continue through this challenging time.

Sincerely,
Office of Admission
