EARLY ACTION: An option if Linfield is at or near the top of your college list. This admission plan is non-binding and non-restrictive. This means there is no requirement that you enroll if admitted or must commit prior to the traditional, national deadline. As you’ve prioritized Linfield among your applications, we will prioritize your application in our review process.	November 1	January 15
LINFIELD SCHOLARSHIP AND VISIT WEEKEND: An invitation-only event, typically held on-campus in February. This year, we’ll have a virtual option, but to be considered, you must apply and indicate your interest in the Linfield section of the application. If invited, you have the opportunity to win up to $5,000 per year, and all participating students receive a minimum of $1,000 for their first-year at Linfield.	December 1	January 15
