Civic Innovation

The Civic Leader Scholars Program at Emory & Henry College is a renewable, four-year scholarship for incoming, first-year and transfer undergraduate students who have a strong interest in civic engagement.

In order to maintain the scholarship, scholars must remain a full-time student, maintain a 3.0 grade point average, attend the annual Civic Leadership Retreat, and participate in on-going reflection and training.
