Scholars Weekend
Scholars are invited to our annual Scholars Weekend at specific times during their scholarship and as alumni. Approximately 400 Scholars and Alumni from all of the Foundation's programs will travel to Northern Virginia to take part in this event.
Scholars Weekend has several purposes:
- to create a bond among Scholars and between Scholars and the Foundation,
- to inspire Scholars to continue pursuing excellence,
- to encourage leadership and a sense of service to others, and
- to provide information that will assist Scholars personally and academically.
During the Scholars Weekend, the Foundation engages Scholars in activities related to academic subjects, current events, the arts, and personal growth through a mix of small-group discussions, activities, and speakers, with the emphasis on activities that allow the Scholars to learn more about and from each other.
The weekend normally takes place the first weekend in August. Invitations and registration will occur in late spring. Please visit the Scholar extranet for more information.
