Early Action

Apply early with more flexibility to make your decision.

Unlike Early Decision, EA does not require you to make a binding agreement if you’re accepted, but it does signal a significant level of interest to our Admissions team. Plus, you’ll receive your college decision early—well before those who apply Regular Decision—and have until May 1 to make your final choice.

Apply early, know sooner, and take the time you need to decide.

You can use the St. Lawrence Application or the Common Application to apply. Create a user account within our SLU Portal to keep track of your materials and find details about next steps.

Merit and Specialty Scholarships

Every student who applies EA will be automatically considered for our academic merit scholarships. We also offer a range of specialty scholarships based on career and extracurricular interests, leadership, service, and more. These require a separate application due at the same time that you apply for admission.
