Trustee Scholars

The Trustee Scholarship is awarded annually to one fourth-year student who best exemplifies dedication, originality, brilliance, ambition, and talent in their field of study and service to the College and the community.

Each year, the faculty in each academic department and representatives from the Office of Student Life nominate two students from the junior class in their areas for consideration as Trustee Scholars for the following year.

Nominees are required to submit a written statement and a portfolio of their work for the Trustee Scholar Selection Committee, composed of members of the Board of Trustees to review and make a selection. The winners are selected based on:

• Exceptional creative talent, communication skills, and distinction of mind
• Contributions to the department, College, and/or community
• Leadership, citizenship, mentorship

The nomination process is held each spring for the following academic year’s winners. The scholars are formally recognized at an awards ceremony each November.
