Trustee Valedictorian/Salutatorian Scholarship

General Requirements:  Trustees Scholarships are granted by the Board of Trustees of Southern State Community College to encourage worthy students to pursue their academic careers at the college.  Except as noted, Trustees Scholarships require that the student enroll for and complete a minimum of twelve (12) credit hours each quarter.  Additional requirements are listed below.  Students are strongly advised to seek the help of a faculty advisor before selecting a program scholarship rather than other scholarships for which they may be eligible.

Eligibility is restricted to service area high school valedictorian and salutatorians from the current graduating class preceding Fall Quarter. In addition, a letter of recommendation from the high school principal and a written personal statement by the applicant describing their goals and summarizing their extracurricular activities must accompany the application. A cumulative grade point average (GPA) of 3.25 must be maintained to continue to receive a scholarship.  Renewal for a second year is contingent on maintenance of a GPA of 3.25.
