Buffett Scholarship Requirements

Research conducted on the Thompson Learning Community has demonstrated that the TLC requirements 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 requirements during their first two years succeed by having higher grades throughout their college career and graduating from college at higher rates.

Failing to complete a requirement is akin to failing to complete classes, and is reported to the Buffett Foundation for consideration of scholarship renewal.

Buffett Requirements for All Scholars
Maintain a 2.0 cumulative GPA per semester
Enroll in 12 credit hours per semester
Complete a TOTAL of 18 credit hours minimum per academic year
Show academic progress
