Scholarship Interviews

The largest portion of Scholars Day consists of you interviewing for merit-based scholarships, however we offer a variety of other activities to showcase Appalachian State University throughout the day. Take advantage of the information sessions, campus tours, residence hall tours, and the Departmental information tables.

Information Sessions

Leadership & Involvement: At Appalachian, we believe it’s not a matter of “if” you’ll be called to lead, but “when.” We’ll make sure you’re ready, regardless of your future career. Learn about the amazing opportunities to develop marketable skills in leadership and communication.

Undergraduate Research: Students who understand how discoveries are made in their chosen fields are well-prepared to address the challenges of the future. osr.appstate.edu/

The Honors College at Appalachian: The Honors College at Appalachian is an excellent choice for those students with plans that include international fellowships, graduate education, and careers that will shape the future.

International Programs: Appalachian’s campus extends beyond its physical boundaries to reach around the globe. Learn how the Office of International Education and Development creates incredible opportunities for students, from study abroad programs and overseas service-learning, to visiting scholars and on-campus activities that bring the world to Boone. international.appstate.edu/

Service Learning: Service-learning is a progressive way of teaching that intentionally links an academic course with the needs of local non-profit agencies. Visit the Service-Learning website to learn more about programs and opportunities. act.appstate.edu/sl-cbr-assist.

Financial Aid: The Office of Student Financial Aid seeks to remove financial barriers to education for those who are unable to meet college costs and to assist students and families in securing the financial resources necessary to attend college. Sit in on a session with one of our Financial Aid counselors during the morning information sessions.

Student Life Panel: Get the real scoop on campus life at Appalachian. Ask current students about professors, the academic experience and expectations, roommates, clubs and organizations, Boone’s Social scene, and more.

Departmental Information Tours and Sessions:  Faculty and current students will offer panel sessions, presentations, and/or tours of academic colleges on campus.

Campus Tours and Residence Hall Tour: Experience the beauty of campus and its mountain environment first hand with a walking tour led by an Appalachian Student Ambassador. This 45 minute walking tour will include academic buildings, a typical residence hall room, and provide general campus information.
