Each year, the Chapman Scholars Program selects six incoming freshmen who are distinguished as high achievers, in and out of the classroom. Chapman Scholars receive tuition and class fee credit for a maximum of 18 credit hours, on-campus housing, textbooks, and a stipend for food each eligible fall and spring semester per aid year. The program develops engaged scholars who understand that civic engagement is key to personal growth and to the growth and strength of a community.
By studying and living at Purdue Fort Wayne, Chapman Scholars are actively involved in challenging coursework, experiential learning, leadership development, and civic engagement throughout their college experience.
