In addition to a scholarship of up to $2000 per year ($1000 per semester), each Engaged Scholar will create an educational and professional portfolio, which documents each student’s personal and professional journey. This portfolio will be developed through participation in a variety of academic, community, and university experiences. By successfully completing the program, Engaged Scholars enhance their employment opportunities, and distinguish themselves as competitive applicants for post-graduate studies. Additionally, these students will be awarded the distinction of graduating as a “University Engaged Scholar” and will be recognized at commencement. This award cannot be combined with other programmatic scholarships. Federal, state and Lenoir-Rhyne financial aid cannot be combined to exceed the cost of tuition.
