It is the result of the College community’s collective commitment to the success of our students made possible through transformational and life-changing opportunities, and personal support and engagement. Hudson Scholars inspire us all with their dedication, commitment, and success. They are living manifestations of our College’s Mission.

I really enjoy the program and I felt the one-on-one contact made me more confident. I felt like someone cared and I was not just another student.
