“During Great Scott, I was able to hear from SUMMIT advisors and pre-health advisors and to learn about peer and major advising. Learning about these resources made me feel confident that I would be supported, not only as a student, but also as a new adult and budding professional if I attended Agnes Scott.”

What You Need to Know About The Great Scott Grant:
No. High school freshmen, sophomores and juniors who attend one of the virtual Great Scott events this fall are not eligible to receive this grant upon their eventual application or admission to Agnes Scott. This grant has been created to acknowledge the very challenging application cycle that this year’s seniors and transfer students are facing. We will continue to think of creative ways to meet the needs of our students as we know more about future application cycles.
Additionally, students who decide to or who are already taking a Gap Year are not eligible for the Great Scott Grant.
