Performance & Affinity Scholarships

In addition to receiving financial aid, students in these programs create lasting bonds with other students, faculty, staff and community members creating a network devoted to their success in college and beyond in their career pursuits.

All Performance Scholarships and Affinity Programs are available for incoming first-year and transfer students.

We encourage students to strengthen their relationships to knowledge and to one another through a wide range of activities that blend human interactions with pursuits of the mind and body, ultimately adding to a more joyful enlightened and other-centered life.
