Shelton Scholars Program
Named in honor of Ed and Dotti Shelton for their generous and humble leadership, guidance, and support of Lees-McRae, the Shelton Scholarship is the highest honor bestowed upon entering freshmen. This prestigious award provides full tuition and room and board to one student selected during Scholars Day. Qualified students must have at least a 3.75 GPA and 1150 SAT score (or ACT equivalent) at the time of admission to the college, and agree to be an active member of the Honors Program. All students who meet these criteria will be invited to participate in Scholars Day and will have the opportunity to compete for this award through a variety of interviews and essays. The Shelton Scholarship is valued at more than $130,000 over the course of four years. This scholarship is awarded every four years and will be available again for the 2024–25 academic year.
