Meridian Scholar’s Day 2017 Volunteer Opportunity February 9, 2017 Spend less than a day creating an impact that will last a lifetime for many deserving students
2016 Meridian Scholarship interviewees Each year, SIUE awards 20 Meridian Scholarships to highachieving students. Recipients receive an eight-semester, renewable scholarship covering in-state tuition, fees and room and board. Last year, more than 800 prospective students met the criteria for this premier scholarship, and 160 were invited to participate in Meridian Scholars Day 2016. During this event, applicants are recruited and interviewed while their families explore excellence at SIUE.
As we plan for Meridian Scholars Day 2017, Friday, Feb. 10, we are looking for past recipient, alumni volunteers who are interested in participating on interview panels along with faculty and current Meridian Scholar students. If you would like to give back by participating in this important event, contact Cathy Taylor at cattayl@siue.edu or call (618) 650-5176 for more details.
