Scholarship Day 2008-2009

The Competition

The Scholarship Day competition includes a writing exercise and a personal interview with Columbia College faculty and staff. The competition is on December 6, 2008 or February 7, 2009 on the Columbia College campus in Columbia, Missouri — just a two-hour drive from either St. Louis or Kansas City.

Throughout the day, faculty, staff and students will be available to answer any questions you may have about the college and provide information about degree programs, student clubs and organizations, residential life and community activities.

We welcome and encourage parents to attend Scholarship Day. Sessions are planned to provide both students and parents with important information about Columbia College.
