Oliver Hill Scholars Program

Named after civil rights activist Attorney, Oliver Hill Sr., the Oliver Hill Scholars program fosters a sense of community among its participants. Scholars are involved in activities that celebrate their academic achievements, hone their leadership skills, and encourage their participation in issues of social justice primarily impacting African Americans.

Up to 15 Richmond Scholars will be designated as Oliver Hill scholars and receive full tuition as well as an additional award of $500 per semester.

Oliver Hill Scholars are involved in an on-going developmental series, travel off-campus to field sites of interest, and have the option of being assigned mentors whose careers match their personal interests. Additionally these students receive on-going individualized advising through the Program Director, Dr. Cade, to help maximize their learning experience at the University.
