Financial Aid - Service Scholarships
Emory & Henry is committed to engaging our students in the kind of service that builds citizenship and communities. We believe that as a college, we have the power to not only change the lives of our students, but to change the lives of those who come in contact with our students. Through a series of service scholarships given by the Appalachian Center for Community Service, we encourage students to commit to serving their neighbors at Emory & Henry and beyond.
