The Student Ambassador Program functions as a scholarship but is a tuition waiver, which means if the student meets the requirements, then tuition will be paid for up to 16 credit hours. If the students fail to meet the expectations, then they will be required to pay the tuition. The value earned towards their tuition for 7 hours a week for the whole school year equals about $19.50 per hour spent working on campus.
