Scholar Resources
The Advising Team provides Scholars with college advising services and share campus-specific resources to support each Scholar’s well being and development. Whether it be emotional distress, confusion over financial aid, or questions relating to their academic trajectory, Advisors are there to assess our Scholars’ needs and connect them to the resources that help them thrive.
