Eligible participants must complete several CRSP requirements before submitting an application. These requirements afford students opportunities to familiarize themselves with the campus community and to enhance academic, professional, cultural or personal growth. These requirements include:
|
• |
Attending tutorials to complete a minimum of 15 sessions before the application deadline |
|
• |
Attending at least one financial literacy workshop |
|
• |
Attending at least one Professional Mentor Meeting |

The College Reading Skills Program has been awarding grant aid since Fall 2001. In the 2010-11 academic year, the grant aid was converted to a scholarship format. The program is excited to continue offering such a valuable opportunity to students.
