Benefits of Joining the Program
Once you're a Guardian Scholar, you'll get access to professional development and social events, financial and campus support resources, and a curated community space on campus.
Financial and campus support benefits
There are scholarships specifically for students like you and your participation in the Guardian Scholars program can help you get support for tuition and other academic fees. Grants are also available and they can provide one-time or ongoing support to help cover basic needs.
Guardian Scholars also get other benefits like early class registration and priority consideration for on-campus housing during school breaks.
Social events and professional development
We're here to support your academic goals, career aspirations, and personal growth. We help you succeed through workshops, one-on-one coaching, and community building.
Curated space on campus
