The Lilly Awards Program, named to honor the Lilly family of Indiana, was established by the Wabash College Board of Trustees in 1974. Each year this program recognizes outstanding young men who show high potential for leadership and future promise--men who are likely to have an impact not only on Wabash, but on their community and thus on our world.
The Lilly Award, the Colleges' most prestigious scholarship, is renewable annually and covers the recipient's tuition, fees, room and board. We currently estimate the value of a Lilly Award (per student) for the next four years at more than $140,000.
Applications for the Lilly Award must be received by February 25. Students admitted under the Early Action will have an application for the Lilly Award mailed to them along with their decision letter on January 31. Students can download an application from our website.
To have an application mailed to you or if you have questions about the award, call the Admissions Office at 800-345-5385.
