Integrative Learning Scholarship
What is the Integrative Learning Scholarship?
With a commitment to developing students as global citizens, Eastern challenges students to apply the principles learned in the classroom to every aspect of their lives. Integrative learning encourages them to connect the dots from academic to professional and personal.
