Dana Scholars are Agnes Scott students who exhibit exceptional leadership and academic achievement.
This group of students participates in a leadership series featuring speakers who are accomplished leaders in their respective fields. The program also allows students to learn from each other's experiences through "leadership lessons" sessions.
Through the program, students are exposed to a variety of topics including cultural and community issues and learn how seasoned leaders deal with such issues.
When are the scholars selected?
Dana Scholars are selected at the beginning of the academic year and are announced at Opening Convocation/Honors Day.
