Guardian Scholars is more than financial aid: it’s a support system to ensure scholars the best chance of succeeding in college and beyond. Beyond campus and staff resources, upper-class scholars act as “family” to the incoming freshmen. The Family concept is nurtured with activities like summer and holiday parties for both Scholars and Guardian Angels (program donors), and frequent personal contact with Guardian Scholar staff. In addition to financial support, the Guardian Family and the college administrators help student Scholars:
