RAM SCHOLARS PROGRAM
A BRIGHT FUTURE BEGINS WITH ACADEMIC MOMENTUM
The RAM Scholars Program supports promising, first-time college students in their pursuit of success by providing and encouraging the use of resources and services designed to help them initiate and maintain Academic Momentum.
Why participate in the RAM Scholars Program?
DelVal created the RAM (Resources for Academic Momentum) Scholars Program to help students gain and improve the skills needed to be a successful college student. We think of this process as building and maintaining Academic Momentum. When students can spark Academic Momentum, they not only earn good grades and complete their college degree, they create a bright future for themselves and their community.
I learned a lot in [the fall semester RAM Scholars Seminar] class. What really drew me in was the growth mindset that we talked about. It’s just always ever-expanding your mind and forever gaining knowledge in your field.
As a selected RAM Scholar, students will benefit from a collection of resources and services provided by dedicated staff. RAM Scholar students are required to participate in all components of the program, and typically, our RAM Scholars are thrilled to engage and learn for brighter futures.
