AOS Scholars
AOS Scholars program is a fall and spring semester cohort for AOS-qualifying students: first-generation, low-income orstudent of color. This program aims to close the achievement gap and increase retention among underrepresented and
underserved students.
Participants will be enrolled in 15 credits for fall, which includes the student’s choice of six credits for fall. In addition, a tuition
waiver will be applied for the cost of three credits; however, students are obligated to pay fees for those courses.
