The Pillars for Excellence program provides full tuition scholarships (awarded annually at the freshman level) to highly qualified admitted students with exceptional intellectual ability. Recipients of the scholarship are expected to demonstrate both the qualities of a person that will allow a student to flourish in C-SC's rigorous but community-oriented academic environment and in the challenging world beyond college. To be considered for the Pillars for Excellence Scholarship, students must be admitted to Culver-Stockton as a first-time freshman, they must have a 3.75 cumulative GPA on a 4.0 scale, and complete the C-SC Leadership form. All C-SC Leadership forms will be reviewed by members of the C-SC Honors Board, who will determine eligibility for the competition. Students may visit the scholarship's website or contact the Financial Aid Office for more information.
