Ryan Scholars
The Ryan Scholars Program was established by the generous donation of Patrick and Shirley Ryan in 2007 to financially support and attract high-achieving, lower-income students with exceptional leadership potential to attend ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ without incurring significant loan debt.
Ryan Scholars are a group of gifted, motivated students who bring energy, talent, and intellectual curiosity to the ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ community. Each year, students who demonstrate commitment to service and leadership, as well as outstanding academic performance, are selected to become Ryan Scholars prior to attending ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½.
Throughout their four years, in addition to funding, Ryan Scholars have the opportunity to attend select programming and community events.
