Program Description
In addition to financial support received through the scholarship award, GWCSL scholars register and participate in this learning community. GWCSL aims to recognize, support, and further cultivate outstanding individuals who demonstrate resilience, academic excellence, and a commitment to making a positive impact on their communities and beyond. To promote continuous learning, achievement, and integrity, the GWCSL provides the following:
University Studies courses. The University Studies course(s) for GWCSL scholars are designed to help scholars adjust or adapt to student life at ISU, meet the ISU challenge of academic excellence, take advantage of opportunities that are aimed to enhance social and leadership skills, and develop an appreciation for cultures and communities.
Academic Outreach. The GWCSL learning community is committed to Academic Outreach to all GWCSL Scholars.
