Charpie Scholarship

Revision as of 12:38, 14 June 2010 by Vicky13 (talk | contribs) (Selection process)

The Charpie Scholarship is an extremely competitive leadership scholarship offered to only a few students from certain high schools each year. The scholarship is not very publicized (on purpose), so there is not much information about it available online.

Selection process

  • Students are picked for leadership abilities.
  • Only students admitted to CMU from about a dozen specific high schools (Montgomery Blair High School, TJHSST, etc.) are eligible. No additional application materials required.
  • About a dozen finalists are chosen and invited to CMU during a Sleeping Bag weekend to compete in "leadership activities."
  • The number of students selected to receive scholarships varies each year, but it is usually only a few (2-4?).

Award details

  • Full-tuition scholarship (students still have to pay around <dollar/>10,000 for room and board, books, etc.)
  • Special leadership, professional, and travel opportunities
