Scholarship for Leaders
It’s a competitive world out there! Today, students seeking to meet their educational, career, and life goals need a competitive advantage. Named after our mascot – Razor the Shark – the Razor’s Edge Leadership Development Program gives students an incredible curricular and co-curricular experience that aims to help them gain the knowledge, skills, experience, and attitudes needed to be 21st Century Leaders.
Razor’s Edge participants receive an annual scholarship package valued at $10,000.
The Razor’s Edge experience is designed for student leaders who have already demonstrated a commitment to leading and to making an impact both in their schools and in their local communities. Participants must also have the desire to continuously improve their leadership abilities by learning about leadership in the classroom, by applying those lessons, and by taking on leadership roles on campus and beyond. Razor’s Edge participants understand that leadership is not only about one’s self, it’s also about helping others achieve.
It’s your future to create. Let NSU help you make it great!
