Parent Advisory Council Scholarship
About the Scholarship
Each year, the Parents Advisory Council awards scholarships to recognize students for past leadership contributions and future potential as a leader. The Student Life Office sends postcards inviting incoming first-year students to apply.
Eligible students must have at least a 3.0 grade point average and not be a recipient of a Presidential, Whitinger, or Emens scholarship. The scholarship is reserved for students who are beginning their freshmen year in the fall of 2013.
A committee selects the 15 scholarship recipients in early April. Each one-time award is for $1,500 and is distributed at $750 per semester.
