Joe Paul Leadership Scholarship Endowment

The purpose of this fund is to provide scholarships to full-time freshmen who have exhibited leadership in high school and/or their communities. Students initially enrolling at a higher classification due to dual enrollment credits are not disqualified. This scholarship may be received for up to four years as long as the student is an undergraduate, maintains a minimum 3.0 GPA, and is enrolled full-time, or as otherwise determined by the signature authority. Initial award levels will be in the amount of up to $6,000 based on individual student’s financial need and cost of attendance. This amount may be adjusted periodically at the discretion of the signature authority to ensure the significance of the impact of the scholarship. To the extent that the annual spending allocation is in excess of the amount needed to support the named recipients from this endowment, the excess spending allocation may be used to contribute to the pool of funding for all Leadership Scholars.
