The Charles T. Bauer Scholars Program is a signature initiative at Bucknell University designed to support students from Baltimore City and Baltimore County, Maryland. This program provides merit-based funding combined with a financial aid package designed to cover the recipient's full demonstrated financial need. Beyond financial assistance, scholars receive comprehensive support through the university's Center for Access and Success. This includes participation in a peer mentoring program, a pre-orientation program, career readiness workshops, and academic mentorship. To maintain the award, recipients must make satisfactory academic progress, remain in good social standing, and participate in the program's structured mentoring and community activities.
