Shelton State Community College Offering Collegiate 100® Scholarship for Fall 2022

May 18, 2022 – Shelton State Community College has added a new scholarship for students enrolling in the fall 2022 semester. The College’s Collegiate 100® is now accepting applications for membership and scholarship.  Applications are being accepted until June 30, 2022.

The new Collegiate 100® scholarship will waive tuition and fees for selected members for up to sixteen hours for the fall 2022 and spring 2023 semesters and up to twelve hours for the summer 2023 semester. First-time, new, current, or potential Shelton State students are eligible for the Collegiate 100® scholarship award.  Applicants must have a GPA of 2.0 or greater to qualify.

The Collegiate 100® scholarship selection process is based on applicants’ leadership potential, communication skill, ability to mentor peers, and commitment to Shelton State and the Collegiate 100® organization.  In addition to these qualifications, candidates will also be ranked on their academic history and performance in an interview.  (Selected applicants will be contacted via email to schedule an interview on the Martin Campus.)

One of the College’s most active students organizations, Collegiate 100® provides an avenue for chapters of 100 Black Men of America, Inc. to continue their one-on-one mentoring program for students as they matriculate from high school to college.  The program supports the initiatives set forth by the 100 Way Across a Lifetime organization.  Both local Collegiate 100® chapters were established under the leadership of the 100 Black Men of West Alabama, Inc.

“This scholarship is a great opportunity for students, especially those of color, to participate in a nationally recognized organization that focuses on mentoring students as they matriculate through college and careers,” said Collegiate 100® sponsor Eric Prewitt. “This is the first time since establishing the Collegiate 100® student organization at Shelton State Community College that we’ve been able to offer scholarships, and we’re excited and thankful for the ongoing support of the College’s leadership.”
