Multicultural Scholarship Opportunities
Scholarship Programs
Mosaic Scholars Program
The Mosaic Scholar Program is a leadership development program built around two different scholarships affiliated with our office (Act Six scholarship and Multicultural Leadership Scholarship). Collectively, and in class-specific cohorts, the Mosaic Scholars engage in retreats, training, meetings, service and leadership opportunities. These scholars are well-known at George Fox and are leaders within and outside of the university community.
Program Benefits
- Mentorship: You will be provided a mentor the moment you arrive on campus. This is a current Mosaic Scholar who has gone through training and is dedicated to helping you navigate campus life as you make the transition to George Fox.
- Faculty and Staff Support: You will have unique opportunities to interact with key faculty and administrators on campus. These professionals are dedicated to your success on campus and commit to meeting with you on an individual and group basis.
- Professional Development: You will receive firsthand information regarding internship opportunities and will be able to participate in professional workshops with topics like resumé building, networking and interviewing skills.
- Leadership Development: As the workplace becomes more diverse, companies are increasingly looking for applicants with high intercultural competency. This trait is also important for upward mobility in your chosen career. The Mosaic Scholars Program will help you gain an understanding of your own ethnic identity and how to lead a diverse group of people.
