With more than $2 million worth of scholarships, Hanover's Global Quest Scholars Program provides high school students an opportunity to compete for a range of scholarships, including full-tuition, and each qualifying student will receive a guaranteed fully-funded off-campus Spring-term course.
While the economic downturn spurred a recent drop in the numbers of U.S. students studying abroad, the Global Quest Scholars Program signifies Hanover's continued commitment to off-campus experiences. The College strives to prepare its students for entry into a diverse and changing world and meet the needs of a global job market.
Recently-launched, the Global Quest Scholars Program is the most-ambitious scholarship initiative Hanover has ever offered. Four-year scholarships will be offered at four levels, including full-tuition (Trustee), $4,000 (Horner), $2,500 (Crowe/Long) and $1,000 (Faculty), in addition to other scholarships offered through the College's financial aid program. In addition, honorees will receive an off-campus travel experience of their choosing during their sophomore, junior or senior year.
High school students who are interested in competing for Hanover's Global Quest Scholars Program must apply for admission by Dec. 3, 2010. No application fee or essays are required as part of this process. Students can go to www.hanover.edu to apply.
If selected as a candidate for the program, the qualified student must meet and interview with Hanover faculty during one of two selection weekends, either Jan. 28-29 or Feb. 4-5.
Successful candidates will receive invitations by mid-December.
For decades, Hanover has offered off-campus study opportunities during its May term. In the past three years, students have studied in such countries as Italy, France, England, Spain, China, South Africa, Mexico and Ecuador. Courses also have been taught at numerous U.S. locations including Arizona, New Mexico and Colorado.
Located on 650 acres overlooking the Ohio River in southeastern Indiana, Hanover is a premier, nationally- ranked liberal arts institution that offers a challenging curriculum and has core strengths in the sciences, education and business. Founded in 1827, Hanover is the oldest private, four-year college in Indiana.
