OneLife desires to identify and enroll the best mission fit students each year. We believe our program is transformational, and we want to reward students who commit early to join us, so they can focus on making an impact where they are rather than having their post high school decision weighing over them. For this reason, we have created the Early Decision Scholarship at 3 levels for students who know that OneLife is the next step in their journey.

Early Decision Platinum: This scholarship is given to any high school junior who deposits ($250) during their junior year and then pay $500 toward their cost of OneLife. Upon receipt of the $500 payment, OneLife will automatically add a $1,500 scholarship for high school juniors who commit by June 30th of the end of their junior year. 

Early Decision Gold: This scholarship is given to the first 30 students who deposit ($250) and then pay $500 toward their cost of OneLife by December 10th. Upon receipt of the $500 payment, OneLife will automatically add a $1000 scholarship for our first 30 commitments received by December 10th. 

Early Decision Silver: This scholarship is given to the next 30 students who deposit ($250) and pay $500 toward their cost of OneLife by May 1st. Upon receipt of the $500 payment, OneLife will match with a $500 scholarship for our Early Decision Silver commitments by May 1st.

Payment via Check: This payment is only to be submitted via check. Please make checks payable to OneLife Institute and address to:

*OneLife Institute 544 N. Penryn Road; Manheim, PA 17545

Please note, this $500 Early Payment is Non-Refundable. Part of this payment is your commitment to OneLife and allows us to plan well for your arrival.
