MEET OUR SCHOLARS!
We are honored to introduce you to our students! Life on Purpose scholars are from all over the country. They go to different schools, select different majors, and have varying interests. Each scholar brings a unique background and experience to their cohort. While it may seem that our scholars don’t have much in common, they all have a passion for self-growth, are kind and welcoming people, and are committed to bettering themselves and their communities. We love welcoming a new cohort each summer, and our scholars enjoy getting to know each other, spending time together, and learning from each other.
Through being together in the outdoors, building trust in leadership activities, and discussing the books we read, our scholars make lifelong friendships and connections.
“You feel like you belong when you are there.”
“It’s been a perfect combination of working on ourselves and our relationships with each other.“
Since our first few cohorts just graduated from college, we are collaborating with our alumni to create meaningful engagement opportunities. The alumni program fosters ongoing relationships, learning, and giving back to current students in the scholarship program. Our alumni serve as mentors and provide networking connections for younger students. LOP alumni are doing wonderful things in their communities, and we can’t wait to see what they accomplish!
“I always feel like I can have a conversation with anyone. It’s not small talk. It’s real conversation.”
“I think in my eyes, this program is about the people and the relationships that you make.”
