Students selected for the program will receive:
Scholarships are renewable for up to eight semesters as long as the student remains active in the Mosaic Scholars program and maintains an average GPA of 3.0 or higher.
Candidates for this program will be selected from new, incoming traditional undergraduate students from underrepresented groups and who demonstrate financial need identified by the FAFSA. Candidates will be notified of their eligibility to apply and will go through a two-part application process. The written application opens in November and award winners are announced in April.
Students are selected to move on to the next phase by a committee consisting of Student Life, Admissions, Academics, and Financial Services representatives.
Scholars will regularly participate in opportunities designed to help develop the skills needed for emerging community leaders. These include:
Beginning every school year, all cadres and staff will gather to introduce the program, scholar agreement, syllabus, and schedule. Scholars will have the opportunity to ask questions, set goals for the year, and meet or reconnect with everyone involved in the program.
Regular social events for scholars will be scheduled throughout the academic year to facilitate cohort bonding and healthy relationships.
Every scholar will receive support and accountability from the Mosaic Coordinator to assist in academic, social, emotional, and spiritual development. First year scholars are required to meet with the Mosaic Coordinator as assigned. Second through fourth year scholars will be given optional meeting opportunities.
Starting during a cadre member’s third year, scholars will have the opportunity to mentor younger scholars (seniors with sophomores and juniors with freshmen) through monthly mentoring meetings.
Study hours will be required for all scholars with an October GPA below 3.25. The scholars will connect with Student Support Services for study groups.
By participating in service projects assigned by the Mosaic Coordinator, scholars can put their faith into action and be the hands and feet of Jesus to our community. Mosaic Scholars also will participate in Corban’s annual MLK Serve Day.
All scholars will be involved in a Corban-campus leadership role. While second-year leadership is encouraged, campus leadership will not be required until junior year.
Each cadre will have a student representative who will meet weekly with the Mosaic Coordinator and advocate for their cadre.
The first-year cadre will have five mandatory leadership training sessions throughout the school year (Oct, Nov, Jan, Feb, Mar).
Scholars will be expected to engage in the following while attending Corban:
Adhere to Corban’s chapel attendance policy.
Attend monthly cadre gatherings.
Meet regularly with a designated Corban faculty or staff member (mentor):
– Freshmen: twice/semester
– Sophomores: once/semester
– Juniors/Seniors: once/semester

– Serve in a leadership capacity role on campus starting junior year; examples include but are not limited to RAs, Worship Coordinators, SGA, Senate, and SAB.

Attend the two mental health workshops led by Counseling Services.
Maintain an average GPA of 3.0 at the end of every academic year.

All scholars will meet with the Director of Career Services or their academic advisor their junior and senior year to identify academic or professional placement options after graduation. They will also participate in Corban’s annual Career Day, which includes mock interviews, career workshops, and a Career Fair to network with potential employers.
