THE ROAN EXPERIENCE The Roan empowers Scholars through unique, out-of-the-classroom experiences that challenge, inspire, and encourage.
WHAT ARE THE MAIN PARTS OF THE PROGRAM?
“Roan Scholars are selected for their incredible potential for leadership and making a profound positive impact wherever they live or work. I am proud of, and pleased with, Scholar and Alumni accomplishments over the last almost 20 years and am even more excited about what they will do over the next 20.” – Mr. Louie Gump
Founder of the Roan Scholars Leadership Program
The Roan Experience
Financial Award
Scholar Initiative
Scholars learn, grow, and develop their leadership potential through a fouryear framework of shared class and all-Scholar experiences, as well as individual activities and opportunities.
The Roan provides funding for four years of tuition and fees, room and board, and books and supplies. This allows Scholars to focus on leadership, campus/community engagement, and academic achievement.
With the support of the Roan, Scholars are empowered to take it from there - to explore their interests, identify issues and opportunities, and ultimately make an impact.
INDIVIDUAL EXPERIENCES
Coaching and Mentoring Scholars regularly meet with Roan staff to discuss challenges, areas for growth, and opportunities to serve and lead.
Summer of Service Rising sophomores participate in a six-week, individually designed summer internship to develop professionally and learn to lead through service.
