\n Marshall University recognizes that each student\u2019s educational experience is richer when it occurs in an environment that celebrates intercultural knowledge and understanding. We invite students interested in learning more about the benefits of intercultural understanding, with an emphasis on providing leadership to advance this knowledge on campus and in the community, to apply to live in our intercultural-themed living\/learning community (ILLC) at Marshall University.\n\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n \n \n \n

For this scholarship, preference will be given to applicants who best exhibit the potential to advance intercultural knowledge and understanding on Marshall\u2019s campus. The application process will allow interested students to let us know if they have been active in working or advocating on behalf of chronically underserved populations in the past (e.g., participation in organizations that serve these populations) and\/or, if they wish to do so in the future.<\/p>\n

Prospective students who have achieved a minimum high school GPA of 2.75 and would like to be considered for these service\/leadership scholarship positions are encouraged to apply to be part of the ILLC.\u00a0 Admitted students should apply if they feel they will add a valuable perspective to the ILLC and are committed to participating in initiatives that will promote intercultural understanding on the MU campus.<\/p>\n\n\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n \n \n \n
