The Office of Family Engagement
The Office of Family Engagement keeps families connected and engaged with their student through several key events. Our collaboration of events on campus provides opportunities for families to visit their student at Â鶹ŮÀÉ, remain connected with other Owl families, and provide education and resources to learn as your student transitions into the collegiate years.

Students must be enrolled full time with a 2.5 GPA or higher. An essay is required explaining the importance of their familial support system (parents, relatives, close friends, etc.) and how they have aided in their academic success. A completed FAFSA is required to be considered for this scholarship.
