What does it mean to be a South Central Scholar?

By filling out and submitting this application, you understand that your acceptance into the South Central Scholars Program means that you must adhere to certain requirements and expectations during your college matriculation. South Central Scholars is different from other programs because you are not just receiving a scholarship, you are receiving an entire network and support system. By receiving a scholarship, you are automatically enrolled in the Mentorship and Jobs & Internships Program. As a requirement of your participation and to be eligible to renew your scholarship each year for the length of your college career, our expectations are:

1) That you will participate in no less than two (2) webinars per year. These webinars are meant to get a gauge of your status in school, connect you to peers, and provide important information that can help you succeed in school!

2) That you will complete no less than one (1) survey and one (1) evaluation per year. These surveys are meant to track your progress through school and get valuable feedback regarding the ability of our programs to meet your needs!

3) That you will reapply each year to renew your scholarship. See the Scholar Center for information on what is needed to renew a scholarship!

4) That you will attend at least one general meeting per year. South Central Scholars holds conferences, mixers, campus visits, and workshops every year to encourage networking and professional/academic development!

STOP!

ONCE AGAIN, before you fill out this application, you MUST be ready to submit ALL of the documents needed to complete your application.
