Goodnight Scholars Program

The Goodnight Scholars Program, funded by a gift from Dr. Jim and Ann Goodnight, began in 2008 with 25 scholars. Since that time, it has grown from a scholarship into a comprehensive student development program designed to develop scholars into leaders within the STEM and Education fields. Seventy freshmen and transfer scholars are selected each year, for a total student population of approximately 260.

The program office is responsible for the selection of scholars and management of their progress through the program, including financial aid and scholarship requirements, participation, academic eligibility and program completion. The program office is also responsible for developing and offering a wide variety of program activities for the scholars, including first-year and senior retreats, first- and second-year seminars, multiple professional, service and social events each week, and fall and spring trips. We also coordinate outreach activities with a variety of campus, K-12, nonprofit and industry partners.
