BOILING SPRINGS, N.C.—Gardner-Webb University offers the Early Admission Advantage to college-bound students who are ready to finish the application process and prepare for what comes next. Students admitted through this program can begin planning for their new campus home with access to priority housing and free parking for the 2025-26 academic year. Other benefits include giveaways such as a semester of free housing and other prizes.
“Senior year is an exciting time, and we want our prospective students to fully enjoy it while confidently preparing to join the Bulldog family,” affirmed Molly M. Allison, assistant vice president for Undergraduate Admissions. “By applying through Early Admission, students can focus on making the most of their final high school experiences, knowing they’re already on the path to becoming part of our community.”
Gardner-Webb President Dr. William M. Downs added, “We’re literally only a couple of weeks into the Fall 2024 academic year, but already we’ve locked in an impressive number of newly deposited students for Fall 2025! Clearly, there are prospective new college students out there who know what they want, they are eager to secure their place at a great school, and they are more than pleased to take advantage of the priority benefits that come along with being decisive. The early Dawg, they say, gets the prize.”
