Considering Agnes Scott? Great Scholarship Possibilities!

Agnes Scott College Office of Admission
 
Hello, friend,

I hope that you are well and are looking forward to the New Year as we enter the holiday season! I wanted to share a few noteworthy things with you about Agnes Scott College.

Last year we introduced the Elizabeth Kiss Trailblazer Scholarship, named in honor of our eighth college president Dr. Elizabeth Kiss, the founder of our SUMMIT global learning and leadership development curriculum. In August, we welcomed the largest first-year class in our small college’s history (almost 330 students), and more than 200 of those students were recipients of the Trailblazer Scholarship!

This year, Trailblazer returns, and we are hopeful that you will help spread this wonderful news to your qualified, college-bound seniors – if they apply by our Jan. 15Early Action II application deadline and meet the minimum qualifications, they could qualify for the Trailblazer – a renewable $25,000-per-year scholarship!

To qualify, a student must simply:
  • Complete an application for admission to Agnes Scott (no separate application for the Trailblazer Scholarship is necessary) before our Jan. 15 Early Action II deadline
  • Have a cumulative 3.75/4.0 GPA as reported by their high school OR,
  • Have a 1250 SAT or 26 ACT score
If the student is admitted to the college and meets the scholarship qualifications mentioned above, the student WILL receive the Trailblazer Scholarship! Note: Test-optional candidates, international students and home-school students ARE eligible also. For more information on the Trailblazer Scholarship, click here.
It has been a big year for Agnes Scott, from welcoming our ninth college president Leocadia I. Zak and being named the 2019 No. 1 Most Innovative Liberal Arts College in the Country AND No. 2 Best Undergraduate Teaching by U.S. News & World Report to reopening newly renovated Rebekah Scott Hall and our Welcome Center and being recognized as a college that promotes social mobility for students. After more than 125 years, we are still living up to our legacy of preparing students to be honorable leaders in a global society, and they are truly #LeadingEverywhere.

Please share this amazing scholarship information with your colleagues and any qualified students, and, if you have a minute, take a look at our updated academic profile in By the Numbers and our Counselor Resource Page.

Should you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Sincerely,



Aimee Kahn-Foss
