Campbell Scholars Program

The Campbell Scholars Program provides cultural, academic, social, and financial literacy resources and mentorship to students of color and their allies during their four years at Alma College. Our mission is to develop pathways that lead to educational success, college persistence, and graduation for all students with an emphasis on students of color. Campbell Scholars participate in a range of enrichment activities including social, cultural, leadership programs throughout the year!

First-year Campbell Scholars participate in the Julius Chatman Living Learning Community (JCLLC), where they live together, build connections, and develop their leadership skills in a residential setting.

  • Connections and lifelong friendships
  • Leadership and networking opportunities that make you attractive for campus leadership positions (Resident Assistants, KCP Mentors, First Year Guides, Student Congress)
  • Personalized access to campus resources
  • Opportunities to travel off campus
  • First-year students receive a total $750 benefit at the Alma College Bookstore through participation in the JCLLC

Eligibility

  • Self identify as a student of color (i.e. Black/African American, Native American, Hispanic/Latino/a/x, Asian, Pacific Islander, Multi-racial).
