Carey Anne Meyer LaSor has been named the full-time coordinator of the Young Presbyterian Scholars Program (YPS), a position that is responsible for the promotion and implementation of the YPS program.
ÌýIn 2002, as ¾¨Ó㴫ý celebrated its 150th anniversary, the Board of Trustees took a serious look at the question of what it means to be a Presbyterian Church (PC) related college.Ìý As a result, the decision was made last fall to offer up to 150 scholarships, worth $11,000 annually, to outstanding PC (USA) students and offer them a way to continue to grow in faith and leaderships while on the ¾¨Ó㴫ý campus.Ìý The scholarships are given to all PC (USA) congregations, in essence, to award to a student of their choosing who meets the qualifications of active memberships in a PC (USA) congregation, and exhibits a 3.5 or higher cumulative high school grade point average.Ìý
Ìý"The goals of this program and this first year are to provide each of the Young Presbyterian Scholar students with an experience that is uniquely a ¾¨Ó㴫ý experience, intentionally Presbyterian connected, and motivated by an external and spiritual call for them," LaSor said.Ìý "The Program intends to provide for their personal, spiritual, and leadership growth, building on the abilities and potential they already possess."
ÌýThere are currently 37 Young Presbyterian Scholars at ¾¨Ó㴫ý doing the program's inaugural year.Ìý ¾¨Ó㴫ý received over 120 YPS nominations from 20 states last year.
