Morningside hosts Celebration of Excellence Scholar Weekends

Students who have been nominated for a Morningside College Celebration of Excellence (COE) Scholarship are invited to attend one of four COE Scholar Weekends the college will host this winter and spring. COE Scholar Weekend dates are Friday and Saturday, Jan. 21 and 22, Feb. 4 and 5, Feb. 18 and 19, and Mar. 11 and 12. COE Scholars Weekends are open to students who have been accepted for admission and nominated for COE scholarships.

"Our COE weekends are a great opportunity for students to determine if Morningside College is the best fit for their next four years of education, and for parents to get comfortable with the college environment," said Joel Weyand, Morningside's director of admissions. Prospective students who wish to participate must apply for admission, be accepted, and meet the scholarship eligibility requirements.

The weekends feature social events, panel discussions, interviews and auditions or evaluations with faculty, an organization and activities fair, financial aid appointments, campus tours, and a scholar recognition luncheon.

COE Scholarships include President's Scholarship Awards, Dean's Scholarship Awards, Mustang Co-Curricular Awards, and Talent Achievement Awards. To register for a scholar weekend, call 712-274-5111. For more information about the scholarships click here.
