Getterman Scholars Program

Named in honor of Ted and Sue Getterman, Getterman Scholars is a nationally competitive scholarship program open to a few exceptional incoming students each year. The program attracts high-achieving students across the academic disciplines, especially students interested in an integrated undergraduate liberal arts education. Along with the prestige of selection comes an annually renewable scholarship that covers full tuition, fees, books, room, and board, along with summer study abroad, research internships, and mission/service trips.
