Emerging Scholars Book Fund

The Emerging Scholars Program brings together faculty, staff, and students to support and mentor first-year students from their first day on campus through graduation. With a 98% graduation rate, our alumni are continuing to excel as graduate students and in careers as researchers, attorneys, educators, engineers, and more.

We are asking Emerging Scholars Program alumni and friends to give to the Emerging Scholars Book Fund. Every dollar we receive will purchase books for the 2017 cohort of Emerging Scholars.

Textbooks are among the largest out-of-pocket expenses for college students. For students who are the first in their family to attend college, the high cost of textbooks is often unexpected. During the ten years that Commonwealth Honors College has managed the Emerging Scholars Program they have covered the cost of textbooks for the first-year ES students. Several years of budget cuts means that there are fewer funds to cover this expense. A gift from you will help Commonwealth Honors College continue to provide this essential resource for our Emerging Scholars.

You can open a world of ideas to Emerging Scholars with your gift today.  Thank you!
