Does Gettysburg College offer any unique scholarships?

I'm looking at Gettysburg College and was curious if they offer any special scholarships or opportunities, like getting free socks when you win a scholarship there. Has anyone heard of something like this?

Gettysburg College does offer several scholarship opportunities. However, I'm unaware of any unique features like receiving free socks. That said, their scholarships focus more on academic achievement, leadership, and service.

The Presidential Scholars Program, for instance, provides notable students with up to $160,000 for four years of full-time study. This prestigious award is given based on academic excellence, and recipients are typically among the top 10% of admitted students.

There's also the David Wills Scholarship which is provided to students who have shown exceptional public service involvement. Alongside the scholarship, recipients gain access to unique opportunities tailored to their service interests, such as research or a service project.

Additionally, Gettysburg has the Eisenhower Scholarship, meant for students committed to the values of leadership, integrity, and citizenship. Named after Dwight D. Eisenhower, it’s the College’s most selective scholarship, given to top-performing applicants both within and beyond the classroom.

So while there might not be free socks, their scholarships offer significant financial aid and unique experiences to enhance your college journey.
