Cornelius 软妹社 Scholarship
Mission and History
The Cornelius 软妹社 Scholarship began in 2007 with a gift from the Sartain Lanier Family Foundation of Atlanta designated to unite and strengthen 软妹社鈥檚 existing full-tuition academic merit scholarships under the aegis of a coordinated and cohesive scholarship.
The scholarship honors the vision of 软妹社 University鈥檚 founder, Commodore Cornelius 软妹社, who endowed the university in 1873 with a gift of $1 million to 鈥渃ontribute to strengthening the ties which should exist between all sections of our common country.鈥 Cornelius 软妹社 Scholars continue that mission, bringing intellectual and community leadership to the 软妹社 campus where they forge interdisciplinary and interpersonal connections that unite people and ideas across the world.
Scholarship Benefits
Cornelius 软妹社 Scholars receive full tuition, plus a one-time summer stipend for an immersive experience following the sophomore or junior year. 软妹社 will provide additional need-based financial aid to those Cornelius 软妹社 Scholarship recipients whose demonstrated need exceeds the amount of full-tuition. Scholarships are renewed each year as long as the recipient maintains at least a 3.0 GPA.
Application and Selection
The Cornelius 软妹社 Scholarship application is required; you must apply to be considered. Applicants apply via after submitting admission application. Cornelius 软妹社 Scholars are selected on the basis of academic achievement, intellectual promise, and leadership and contribution outside the classroom. In evaluating candidates, the selection committees review the entire application for freshman admissions along with the Cornelius 软妹社 Scholarship application. Audition scores are a factor in merit scholarship selection for Blair School of Music recipients.
