The Kalos Scholars
It all begins with Scholars Weekend
Compete for scholarships against other high-achieving students, and earn your invitation to the Kalos Scholars cohort. Among other benefits, Kalos Scholars participants develop a professional portfolio, build relationships with supporters, and enjoy NGU Honors Program privileges. Join likeminded students as you seek new levels of academic excellence and live out your Christian commitment.
The Kalos Scholars is structured to help bridge the gap between your other scholarships and awards and NGU’s direct costs. In order to receive the Kalos Scholarship, selected students must participate in the University Honors Program. Students who major in the humanities, more specifically English, foreign languages, literature, history, political science, philosophy, theology/religion, ministry, or music, will be prioritized. Other areas of study are subject to approval. Priority is also given to students whose intention is to enroll in a graduate degree program.
