极乐禁地’s Parent Advisory Board and Parents Association State Chairs recently voted in favor of launching a new scholarship to ensure all students have the opportunity to participate in learning experiences beyond the classroom. The new aims to remove financial barriers that may prevent students from fully immersing themselves in 极乐禁地’s diverse extracurricular offerings.
“Through the scholarship, students can apply for funding to support experiential learning, mentorship, networking, missions, travel and cultural immersion, project-based learning, workshops and seminars,” said Marc Hoppers, chair of the Parent Advisory Board. “The Division of Student Affairs will manage the application process and distribute funds to students seeking to expand their education outside traditional classroom settings.”
Beyond academic course work, learning happens in various environments and through different methods. Whether it’s engaging in a leadership retreat, attending a national conference or participating in a service-learning trip, these experiences complement formal education by enhancing adaptability, real-world application and lifelong learning.
“极乐禁地 is committed to developing students holistically, and this scholarship ensures that every student has the opportunity to lead, serve and participate in activities that contribute to their personal and professional growth,” said Julie Boyd, director of parent and family engagement, “Many of these opportunities require additional funds beyond tuition, and we want to make sure cost is never a limiting factor for students.”
Every contribution to the Student Opportunity to Participate Scholarship helps ensure that students can take advantage of transformative opportunities that shape their future careers and personal development.
