Carthage College

The Heritage Scholarship Program has two main purposes. Those purposes are to acknowledge and celebrate the high quality of student learning through the Western Heritage classes and to offer an opportunity for currently enrolled students to receive substantial scholarship support.

Global Heritage courses are concerned with ideas, works, and practices of non-Western traditions. The Global Heritage Competition is held annually to honor exceptional work in projects with a focus on non-Western traditions and peoples. Up to three cash awards will be made: $250 for first prize, $150 for second prize, and $100 for third prize.

All current Carthage students were invited to submit a logo in the 2016 Celebration of Scholars Student Logo Contest. The logo must visually convey the message of the Celebration of Scholars: Exposition of Student and Faculty Research, Scholarship and Creativity.
