Quaker Leadership Scholarship Programs

Guilford College
In an effort to recognize leadership potential among young Friends and to cultivate that potential, Guilford College offers an average of eight to ten Quaker Leadership Scholarships to each entering first-year class. Scholars are selected on the basis of interest in the Religious Society of Friends, leadership, and academic potential.

Students selected as Quaker Leadership Scholars receive financial awards up to $3,000 per year, renewable for four years. In addition, the college will award another $500 per year if matched by the student’s monthly meeting or other Quaker agency. Quaker Leadership Scholars must participate in a variety of program activities that include mentoring, community service, internships, Quaker studies courses, and involvement in campus groups. The program is coordinated through the Campus Ministry Office and Friends Center. -from the Guilford College web site
