Charpie Scholarship

The Charpie Scholarship is an extremely competitive leadership scholarship offered to only a few students from certain high schools each year. The scholarship is not very publicized (on purpose), so there is not much information about it available online.

Selection process

• Students are picked for leadership abilities.
• Only students admitted to CMU from about a dozen specific high schools (Montgomery Blair High School, TJHSST, etc.) are eligible. No additional application materials required.
• About a dozen finalists are chosen and invited to CMU during a Sleeping Bag weekend to compete in "leadership activities."
• The number of students selected to receive scholarships varies each year, but it is usually only a few (2-3).

Award details

• Full-tuition scholarship (students still have to pay around <dollar/>15,000 for room and board, books, etc.)
• Special leadership, professional, and travel opportunities
