Editor's notes

Apply by Dec. 31 if money matters. Admission is rolling either way, but meeting all four Early Action steps is the only route into the $2,000 scholarship contest, and test scores can count toward merit aid.
Your Champion Story is a required document, not an extra. Liberty can't admit you until it arrives, so send it with your application rather than waiting for a reminder.
