Advantage Scholars Class 2018-19
June 17-21, 2018
Advantage Scholars is the Riley Institute’s annual 4-day residential summer program for incoming Furman Freshmen who are recipients of the Duke, Hollingsworth, Lay and Townes scholarships. It provides an opportunity for these scholars to start building their Furman family before their first day of class. Aligned with the Furman Advantage’s goal of producing educated and thoughtful leaders who have broad-based knowledge…to address real issues, Advantage Scholars brings scholars together to discuss real-world issues, explore campus and the community, and connect socially. This unique opportunity for incoming Freshmen scholarship recipients to broaden and deepen their understanding of community and of complex issues will give them foundational tools for leadership during their Furman career and beyond.
