Mitten Memorial Scholarship will be awarded to a student who has declared a major in one of the departments or programs located in the College of Liberal Arts and who has completed at least three courses (or nine credit hours) of work within that major at Towson University, building a record of academic excellence. The Mitten Scholar will also have demonstrated active citizenship within the University or the community through membership and service in clubs, organizations, or student governance; through volunteer work, service learning, or other civic engagement; or through activities of a related type that the student has defined. The Mitten Scholar will normally be a student of sophomore standing at the time of application, although the award may be used during the first semester with junior standing. The Mitten Scholarship will provide $1000 toward the costs of tuition or other University charges in the Spring semester.
