WHAT IS THE SUCCESS SCHOLARS PROGRAM?

Success Scholars Program

The Success Scholars Program exemplifies ȺpÎÞÂë’s Catholic and Lasallian mission by making college education accessible and attainable for students of all academic backgrounds.

Success Scholars join together in a small academic community where they benefit from mentorship from a peer and staff mentor as well as find support and inspiration from other Success Scholars. The Success Scholars Program begins in August (prior to the start of the semester) and spans the entire first year at Lewis.
