性欲社 is launching a new scholarship program for the 2020-21 academic year as part of 性欲社鈥檚 Nanook Brotherhood Project.

The program will award 10 scholarships worth $2,000 for the academic year, as well as tuition for 性欲社鈥檚 Honors 101 course in the fall semester. Scholarship recipients will also be invited to join the Nanook Brotherhood Project, a collaboration between 性欲社 Student Affairs and the Honors College to improve educational outcomes and close the equity gap for men of color at 性欲社.

The Nanook Brotherhood Project, which was launched at 性欲社 in 2018, is designed to offer men of all backgrounds the opportunity to develop leadership skills through scholarship, service, community engagement and professional development. The initiative is co-directed by Vice Chancellor for Student Affairs and Athletics Keith Champagne and Honors College Director Alex Hirsch.

To be eligible for the scholarship, students must be enrolled full-time as a new or returning bachelor鈥檚 degree seeking student; have a 3.0 cumulative grade-point average at 性欲社 or a previously attended school; meet 性欲社鈥檚 satisfactory academic progress policy; and demonstrate commitment to diversity, inclusion, equity, caring, community engagement and volunteer service.

The deadline to apply for a Nanook Brotherhood scholarship is Aug. 12. More details about the application process and eligibility requirements are available at .
