Scholars Program

The Roanoke College Scholars Program was designed to recognize and support freshman students of superior academic and leadership ability. These students have the opportunity to compete for five different awards. To be considered for these scholarships, students must complete the Roanoke College Scholars Program application and be a prospective college freshman seeking first time fall enrollment. All participants must be accepted to the college prior to the on-campus competition.

The William Beard Scholarship provides students with a full tuition, room, and board scholarship. The David Bittle Scholarship provides full-tuition scholarships for up to 12 entering freshmen. The Christopher Baughman Scholarship equals $2500 annually. The Julius Dreher Scholarship provides for a $1500 award annually. The John Morehead Scholarship provides a $1000 scholarship to those candidates who are selected as finalists and are not selected for the Beard, Bittle, Baughman, or Drehler scholarships.

All awards are renewed annually based upon the student making satisfactory academic progress as defined by the institution.
