The Hendrix College Impact
Scholarship is awarded to students that have a desire to work toward social
justice-related issues such as gender equality, poverty, diversity &
inclusion, LGBTQ equality, and many other public policy, advocacy, and
awareness issues. The scholarship program will be designed to cultivate active
leaders for social change through self-examination, professional development,
and community and campus involvement. Applicants must have a demonstrated
passion in pursuing these efforts through previous involvement in community or
school-related organizations or projects designed to further such causes.
Participation in the Impact Scholars program may also be applied toward an
Odyssey credit (Professional and Leadership Development).
Renewal of the scholarship for
up to three additional years is dependent on the successful completion of a set
program.
