Gardner-Webb also offers academic support for the local community, such as the GOAL degr... ee completion program, and the Center for Excellence in Teaching and Learning. Student life at Gardner-Webb is rich and vibrant. Most full-time students live on-campus, so residential life is bustling, and there are several clubs and organizations to get involved with. To help the campus community grow spiritually, Gardner-Webb sponsors student ministries like The Verge and FOCUS. The university also plans mission trips during fall, spring and summer breaks, as well as local missions to give back to the community. Because paying for college isn’t easy, Gardner-Webb’s Office of Financial Planning can help you find ways to fund your education. In addition to federal financial aid programs, the school offers extensive institutional scholarships based on GPA and test scores, athletic or artistic performance, and Christian service and leadership to eligible students.More
