The Knapp Scholar Program was established to attract outstanding minority undergraduate students majoring in business, and reward demonstrated leadership potential. The program was founded on the principles of leadership and service to others, developing academically gifted students through corporate mentorship and civic engagement. Students selected into the program represent some of the brightest minds that corporate America seeks to engage.

​

While each university will have its own more specific set of requirements, the Knapp Family Foundation has set guidelines for the scholarship and internship programs. In cooperation with a local public school system, each university will choose qualified, diverse, underprivileged students who have achieved a high level of academic and extracurricular achievement. The student will have a demonstrated interest in becoming a servant leader in the field of business. He or she will be involved in extracurricular activities such as sports, school, and business sponsored organizations, volunteer work.

 

Additional guidelines:

* Top 10% of graduating class

*1200 and above SAT

*Must be civic minded, socially engaged, and fearless

*Commitment to service and leadership/socially responsible business

*Strong interest in the study of business

*Demonstrate financial need
