“We have invited the top-performing academic students from our admission pool to compete for additional academic scholarships,” said Darren Crowder, director of admissions. “We expect to have a total of about 600 people visiting our campus that day.”
Students must apply for participation in Scholars Day, and once on campus each student will be interviewed by a faculty panel and write an essay that will be used to determine scholarship winners. Scholarships awarded from Scholars Day will range from $500 to $2,500 per student, with three students receiving the J.R. Maupin Full-Tuition Scholarship.
The competition process also is used to determine placement in the Honors Program.
“Scholars Day is a wonderful opportunity for prospective, high-achieving students to see the ‘academic side’ of SBU and to interact with current students, staff, faculty, and administration,” said Allison Langford, assistant provost and director of the Honors Program.
