Investing in Bright Futures for Tomorrow’s Leaders
To support outstanding performance and continued intellectual growth, the Parents Program offers two scholarships, both awarded each spring to rising third-year students for a portion of their third- and fourth-year tuition and fees. Recipients are chosen based on demonstrated academic achievement, leadership, citizenship, and financial need.
