White-Williams Scholars: Stipend Program

Back on Track Program

Back on Track (BOT) is the newest service offered to stipend-receiving scholars. While White-Williams Scholars are high-achieving students who maintain A's and B's in their classes, students sometimes encounter an exceptionally difficult course that causes them to lose their academic eligibility for the program. We began the BOT initiative during the '08-'09 academic year to assist those students in their effort to raise their grades and regain their eligibility for the program. Students are offered free tutoring at the White-Williams Scholars office on a biweekly basis; they also receive a portion of their stipend if they complete ten hours of tutoring within a marking period. The intent is that all students in the BOT program will be "back on track" within one marking period.
