The Grissom Scholars Program covers full tuition, fees, room, and board -- plus $5,000 in enrichment funds annually and up to $1,500 in first-year travel reimbursement -- for 10 first-generation college students admitted to Centre College each year (parents/guardians without a four-year degree). It requires a separate Grissom Scholars application alongside the Common App and FAFSA, plus letters of recommendation; a counselor or other advocate's nomination is welcomed but not required. It's limited to US residents (or US citizens attending high school abroad); students on an international student visa are not eligible.
