Palmer Diversity Enhancement Scholarship

Through the generous support of Dr. Carolyn Palmer, associate professor emeritus, the College Student Personnel Program (CSP) at Bowling Green State University is offering $1,000 scholarships for selected incoming students.  The scholarship will be applied to the student’s bursar bill and will offset the cost of general fees.

Equity, diversity, social justice, and inclusion are an important part of the student affairs profession  and the CSP program at BGSU.  As a program, we strive to prepare professionals who have awareness, knowledge, and skills around issues of equity, diversity, social justice, and inclusion.
