What? The CHEER Scholars Program
is a summer bridge program that includes courses in English
and
mathematics, comprehensive academic
support activities, and programs that promote personal
development.
Who? Participation in the CHEER
Scholars program is by invitation only; your
invitation will appear in your letter from Admissions after
you apply to FSU. Students selected
for the CHEER program must successfully complete it to gain unconditional admission to the
university. Due to budget cutbacks, we are unable to
accept applications from students who are not invited to
participate in the CHEER program this year.
Why? There are many good
reasons to accept FSU’s invitation to participate in the
CHEER Scholars Program.
-
adjust to the heightened academic
expectations and personal freedoms of FSU before you
begin your first year
-
get a head start on your FSU experience by
earning 8 hours of academic credit, meeting other
students and faculty, and learning your way around
campus before other freshmen even arrive
-
tuition, fees, room, meals, and books
(total cost of $5,500) are paid by FSU.
-
if you graduate in four years, you will
receive special recognition as a CHEER Scholar at
commencement

How? To secure your space in the CHEER Scholars
program, go to
www.uncfsu.edu/admissions and fill out your application
to Fayetteville State University! Once your application
materials have been reviewed, you will receive a letter that
will let you know whether you are invited to participate.
Please contact Dr. Beth Bir at
ebir@uncfsu.edu if you
have questions. |
