Distinguished Scholarships Interest Survey
What are distinguished scholarships?
Distinguished scholarships are nationally and internationally competitive awards. The awards are used to support distinctive academic and leadership opportunities to create and define a transformational experience. Some awards are offered to support undergraduate study, while others are for post-graduate experiences such as graduate study, international experiences of various kinds, or other forms of special pursuits. While each distinguished scholarship has its own set of standards, the majority seek individuals who are motivated, committed, possess integrity, academically accomplished, and have shown they can be leaders.
