´óÏóÊÓƵ

We love to see ´óÏóÊÓƵstudents following in their family member's footsteps. If you're an ´óÏóÊÓƵalumnus, and you have a family member (child, grandchild, or parent of an alum) currently enrolled in an ´óÏóÊÓƵprogram, they are eligible to apply for the ´óÏóÊÓƵAlumni Family Scholarship.

This Scholarship has been established to support and encourage the next wave of ´óÏóÊÓƵalumni members while giving back to the ´óÏóÊÓƵAlumni family. We are pleased to award four scholarships annually to family members of past ´óÏóÊÓƵgraduates.
