The amount of each award is based on need and may provide up to half tuition. To apply for a Dana Scholarship, a student must have completed two full academic years or its equivalent at Guilford College, have a cumulative 3.25 grade-point average, and be recommended by students, faculty, administrative staff, or employers. Selection is made by a faculty committee which takes into consideration a student's academic excellence, leadership, and contribution to campus or community life. Dana Scholars who continue to meet these criteria may reapply for the award.
Selection is based on outstanding character, intellect, and scholarship.
This scholarship was established by the S. LaRose Corporation to honor Lawrence T. Hoyle, an attorney in its employ. Candidates are expected to have a minimum grade-point average of 3.25, to demonstrate proficiency in written and spoken English, and to be of high character. Selection is by The Student Aid and Awards Committee. See Chapter XI for scholarships available to incoming first-year students. The Dean's List, published at the end of each semester, consists of the names of students who carried at least eight credits of academic work in the previous semester and earned a 3.50 grade-point average.
