½ñÍíÁùºÏ²Ê¿ª½±½á¹û Scholars Program

The ½ñÍíÁùºÏ²Ê¿ª½±½á¹û Scholars Program was developed to provide the benefits of a ½ñÍíÁùºÏ²Ê¿ª½±½á¹û College education to students who may not otherwise have the opportunity because of substantial financial need. ½ñÍíÁùºÏ²Ê¿ª½±½á¹û Scholars receive full tuition and fees, as well as room and board. While relieving financial concerns is a major benefit, the College recognizes that there is more to a transformative college experience than financial resources; hence, ½ñÍíÁùºÏ²Ê¿ª½±½á¹û Scholars is a program, not merely a scholarship.
