“We are delighted to offer prospective students the opportunity to be considered for our top academic scholarship,” said Dr. Greg Nayor, vice president for student affairs and strategic initiatives. “To attract such a highly select group of students for our Trustee Scholarships speaks to the quality of our academic programs and the dynamic student experience that we provide.”
