graduate just looking to check out a book, do research, or find a quiet place to read. Visit the Bellarmine Library or read the alumni library handout for information on alumni access to the library.

Alumni Association Legacy Scholarship
The Legacy Scholarship, a competitive scholarship available to incoming undergraduate students, was established in 1980 by the Alumni Board of Directors to recognize and reward legacy students. A legacy student is defined as a child, grandchild, stepchild,
or step-grandchild of a Bellarmine or Ursuline graduate. Typically, 5-6 incoming freshmen are selected to receive the Legacy Scholarship each academic year.
The total scholarship award minimum is $4,000 ($1,000/year) and will cover undergraduate tuition only; the award does not cover summer classes or fifth year. The scholarship is renewable as long as students remain in good standing with the University
and maintain a cumulative 2.5 GPA at the end of each academic year.
Additionally, Bellarmine has announced a new $1,000 Legacy Scholarship to all incoming legacy students. The scholarship is good for all four years of an undergraduate education for a total of $4,000. Those applying to Bellarmine will
have the opportunity, during the application process, to identify themselves as legacy students. Once their legacy status has been confirmed, and once they have been admitted to the university, students will receive confirmation of all scholarships
received, including the new legacy scholarship. This newly funded scholarship initiative is not retroactive and is only available to future legacy students. Recipients of the new scholarship will be invited to apply for the existing Alumni Association Legacy Scholarship, as well.
Legacy students who have been accepted to Bellarmine can complete the Alumni Association Legacy Scholarship application.
The Alumni Association Legacy Scholarship is made possible by fundraising efforts coordinated by the Alumni Board of Directors including Alumni Trivia Knight, the Bellarmine University Golf Classic and Brew at BU.
If you have any questions about the Alumni Association Legacy Scholarship, or the new Legacy Scholarship, please contact alumni@bellarmine.edu.
