Dr. Theresa Price of National College Resources Foundation and Fort Valley State University Launch Partnership To Bring Top Students To Georgia Through $2 Million Searchlight Scholars Initiative
"This partnership with Fort Valley State University is so exciting because it gives students more resources to become leaders. The Searchlight Scholars Program will help us continue to be a light in the road for students of color who have the grades and talent to attend college, but are short on resources. The NCRF/FVSU partnership will also enhance retention and matriculation for students of color, while creating a great diverse pool of STEAM talent,"
NCRF Founder Dr. Theresa Price.
National College Resources Foundation (NCRF) and Fort Valley State University announced a partnership designed to attract top students from around the country to Georgia as Fort Valley State University students. NCRF will serve as a platform to help make students aware of FVSU's Searchlight Scholars program, which will provide selected students who do not reside in Georgia with scholarship funding of up to $52,400 in increments of $13,100 per year, renewable for four years. In addition, scholars will also be provided with mentorship in concert with a research experience. Minimum qualifications for the award include a 3.0 grade point average, a 1,000 SAT score or 20 ACT score, and demonstrated leadership experience. The five-year initiative, valued at over $2 million, is part of FVSU's effort to bring the most talented students to FVSU to enhance the students' scholarship, research, and professional development abilities, with the hope that they will remain in Georgia to contribute to state through excellence in their fields.
