Centre College is committed to providing access, opportunity, and personal support to first-generation students
First-generation students make up 22% of our student body. Seventy six first-generation faculty and staff provide support to all students.
Centre College is proud to provide extensive financial and personal support to all our first-generation students. So proud that incoming first-generation students are guaranteed one of the following:
Four-Year Scholarship
Centre College’s commitment to opportunity and an excellent liberal arts and sciences education is deeply reflected in the Grissom Scholars Program, one of the College’s premier scholarships. Available to first-year applicants, each year the program offers ten high achieving, first-generation, high financial need, college students a full scholarship and $5,000 in educational enrichment funds. Grissom scholars and alumni represent 23 states.
Four-Year Mentored Cohort
Delivering on its commitment to ensure educational access and achievement for first-generation students, Centre College partners with the Kessler Scholars Collaborative, a program that connects high-achieving first-generation students with individualized support and cohort-based programming designed to foster academic, professional and personal growth.
Supplemental Funding
A $10 million gift from Mr. & Mrs. J. David and Marlene Grissom, provides access to study abroad, internships and other educational opportunities for first-generation students. Centre provides incoming first-generation students with $5,000 in enrichment funding in addition to their generous financial aid packages.
