The Diversity Leadership Scholarship
About the award: Since 1851 Coe College has
been committed to seeking out, enrolling, and cultivating bright
and talented students who with a good liberal arts education
can become leaders and serve the communities in which they live.
Coe College is committed to providing a well-rounded experience
in the academic classrooms and residential-campus environment. We
firmly believe that the educational experience is enriched by
inclusion of strong voices from diverse backgrounds. All students
can benefit from interaction with peers whose life experiences
differ substantially from their own. In a sincere effort
to attract academically talented students from underrepresented
diverse groups, Coe awards up to 10 full-tuition scholarships
for U.S. citizens per year (renewable for four years) to graduating
high school seniors, in order to support the presence of valuable
role models on our campus. Economically disadvantaged students
from historically under-represented minorities, including African
Americans, Hispanics, Latinos/as, Asian Americans, and Native
Americans, are especially encouraged to apply.
Goal: The Coe College Diversity Leadership Scholarship is
proposed to enrich the student body and enhance the campus community by attracting
bright and talented students who have demonstrated high academic achievement,
will contribute to the diversity of the student body, and will provide leadership
and service on Coe's campus and in their lives beyond graduation.
Application: This scholarship is competitive.
