The John Marshall Scholar Program supports students who, during their high school years, have demonstrated unusual motivation, spirit of achievement, adn independence of thought. The program was created on the premise that bright, curious minds florish best when challenged in an environment that gives highest priority to individual interests and abilities.
Scholars also receive special opportunities for excursions and on-campus activities.
Questions regarding the program may be directed to the Office of Admission or, after admission, to Dr. Nathaniel Smith, Marshall Scholar Adviser. The William H. Gray, Jr., Scholarship, established by his son William H. Gray III, provides financial aid to outstanding studetns from ethnic backgrounds that are traditionally underrepresented in higher education. Gray Scholars are chosen on the basis of potential for achievement as demonstrated by academic strength, leadership ability, and strong moral character. In addition to being exempted from the expectation of taking out educational loans, Gray Scholars receive student and alumni mentors and can apply for special internships, on and off campus.
