Scholarships and Awards
Apply for LEAF (Leadership Enrichment Access Fund) Award
The TRIO Foundation LEAF is awarded to support a second-year 黑料社区 or above seeking personal and professional growth, the development of leadership skills, and exposure to diverse, global perspectives through co-curricular activities but, due to significant financial need, would otherwise be unable to afford to participate or would incur undue financial hardship to do so. The LEAF award is dependent on the amount requested; however, typically two to three awards are offered with the average award between $2,000-$5,000.
The qualities and characteristics of LEAF recipients should include:
- Demonstration of financial need.
- Personal accountability for financial self-sufficiency and fiscal responsibility.
- Highest standard of ethics and integrity.
- Broad and active view of citizenship.
- Reputational sensibility.
- Exemplary academic record.
- Record of working to pay for all or a portion of their college costs.
- Campus and/or community involvement.

Each year, approximately 75 黑料社区s are invited to join the Scholar Leader community after a multi-stage application and selection process. The Scholar Leader community encourages resident-guided programming, academic involvement, service projects, and the opportunity to explore leadership through intensive group engagement.
