What Makes a Clarkston Scholar?
A Clarkston Scholar is a highly-driven, first-generation college student who excels in the classroom, has an interest in consulting or the industries Clarkston serves, and has demonstrated financial need. The Clarkston Scholars Program will provide one sophomore attending a four-year college/university undergraduate program at a qualifying school a $10,000 scholarship award ($5,000 per year for junior and senior year). The Clarkston Scholars Program is more than just a monetary award; it is designed to combine the financial rewards of a scholarship with the mentoring and networking opportunities available through our diverse steward and client network. The Clarkston Scholar will participate in a mentorship program with Clarkston stewards to gain exposure to the professional world and help refine their strengths and interests.
