Last year, Agnes Scott College introduced the Elizabeth Kiss Trailblazer Scholarship, named in honor of our eighth college president Dr. Elizabeth Kiss, the founder of our SUMMIT global learning and leadership development curriculum. In August, we welcomed the largest first-year class in our small college’s history (almost 330 students), and more than 200 of those students were recipients of the Trailblazer Scholarship!

If  students apply by our Jan. 15 Early Action II application deadline and meet the minimum qualifications, they could qualify for the Trailblazer – a renewable $25,000-per-year scholarship!

To qualify, a student must simply:


  • Complete an application for admission to Agnes Scott (no separate application for the Trailblazer Scholarship is necessary) before our Jan. 15 Early Action II deadline
  • Have a cumulative 3.75/4.0 GPA as reported by their high school OR,
  • Have a 1250 SAT or 26 ACT score

If the student is admitted to the college and meets the scholarship qualifications mentioned above, the student WILL receive the Trailblazer Scholarship!

Samford University McWhorter School of Pharmacy is offering a one week Pharmacy Camp this summer for high school students that are interested in investigating a career as a Pharmacist.  We would like to invite your students to participate in this McWhorter School of Pharmacy Camp.  During the week of pharmacy camp they will experience hands-on learning about health careers in pharmacy, participate in tours of local health care facilities and local pharmacies, participate in compounding activities and hands on demonstrations in the McWhorter School of Pharmacy science laboratory.   Students who attend the camp will have the unique opportunity to spend time on the Samford campus and experience campus life with us, spend time with pharmacy professors, and have a lot of time to interact with other students also interested in careers in pharmacy.
