Leadership Scholars are selected by the Admissions office every February.  Leadership scholars are selected from high school students and junior college transfers who have shown outstanding leadership in their high school and junior college. As of fall 2007 the requirements for a high school student to apply are a 3.00 grade point average and 22 ACT score. Junior college transfer students must never have attended a four year institution and have a 3.00 overall grade point average.   Leadership Scholars are required to give three hours of service to the university each week. Freshman and sophomore leadership scholars are assigned to faculty or staff mentors.  These mentors help guide their Leadership Scholar through their first two years.  The junior and senior leadership scholars are given the option of continuing their service with a faculty or staff member, but if they have a leadership role in a campus organization they may select that as their way of completing their hours.  Each semester, leadership scholars are also required to attend a lecture held on campus.  For information on applying for a leadership scholarship contact Chanukah Willis at cngray@troy.edu or 334-670- 3398. For more information concerning the program once you have been awarded a leadership scholarship contact Barbara Patterson at bpatters@troy.edu or 334-670-3204.
