Description

The Leadership and Character Scholarship is for the best and brightest students.

They are looking for the best and brightest students who have demonstrated exceptional moral leadership, commitment and purpose. They want students who have overcome great odds, worked hard to accomplish important goals and demonstrated the ability to work on behalf of others. They seek to attract students who have shown virtues such as honesty, diligence, curiosity, generosity, humility and gratitude. In short, they want exceptional students whose lives manifest great character and who seek out a collegiate experience in which leadership and character development will be central.

Benefits

Each incoming class will include a small, selective cohort of top students who will be awarded a full scholarship, based on merit, toward their educational costs.

These scholars will participate in leadership and character programming designed specifically for them, and they will be offered experiential learning opportunities to practice leadership and character in service to the campus and within the greater community.

Eligibility

  • To be eligible for the Leadership and Character Scholarship, students must apply for, and qualify for, need-based financial aid in their first year.
