Buffett Scholarship Expectations
Research conducted on the Thompson Learning Community has demonstrated that the TLC expectations help students feel as though they belong, that they matter, and are validated.
The research also shows that students who engage intentionally with the TLC expectations during their first two years succeed by having higher grades throughout their college career and graduating from college at higher rates.
Failing to complete an expectation is akin to failing to complete classes, and is reported to the Buffett Foundation for consideration of scholarship renewal.
