Welcome! The Bonner Scholars Program is part of a network of over 60 colleges and universities affiliated with the Bertram and Corella F. Bonner Foundation. Our program is committed to “providing access to education and opportunities to serve.”
Students admitted to the Bonner Scholars program at Carson-Newman receive a scholarship package in return for participating in an intensive program of community service and servant leadership development, with Christ as our ultimate example. Participants are called “Bonners” for short.Bonners receive the following financial awards:
Bonners also have access to the Community Fund Grant Program, a program that provides grants for student-led projects at non-profits. These grants have provided story books to children with learning disabilities, shelves for food banks, speech therapy tools for public schools, and furniture restoration supplies for non-profit thrift stores. All of these projects have been led by our student volunteers, and we look forward to funding future projects that meet specific community needs. To learn more about Bonner Scholars or to get involved in the Jefferson City community, come visit the Center for Community Engagement at 703 E King Street.
