SBA Scholars Programs
Sophomore Business Scholars

5-10 SBA students will be selected. The scholars will be required to attend the mandatory monthly Scholars leadership seminar on the second Tuesday of each month. Sophomore Scholars will mentor freshman scholars, and provide 15 hours of peer tutoring per semester. Students will receive a $300 award after completing the program.

Admission is selective, and students must re-apply each year. In addition to the application, students will submit a resume and a letter of recommendation from an SBA faculty member. The selection committee will review the application materials and evaluate students based on their cumulative GPA, demonstrated campus and SBA involvement, as well as demonstrated interpersonal and leadership skills. Final candidates will be interviewed. Consideration will be given to insure that each major is represented.

Students applying for this program must:

Have major standing in the SBA by the Fall 2008 term
Have a minimum of a 3.0 cumulative GPA
Demonstrate campus involvement, with preference on SBA involvement
Be making reasonable academic progress
