Pathway Retention Award
<p> The Pathway Retention Award was established by The Office of Institutional Equity and Diversity to promote the retention of diverse students attending Old Dominion University (ODU). During early award cycle distribution, ten recipients were selected from one academic college annually. Beginning fall semester, 2014, the award expanded to include all eligible undergraduate students.</p> <p> Recognizing the value that students from diverse backgrounds bring to the university, including racial and ethnic backgrounds that are traditionally underrepresented in higher education, this award aims to provide financial assistance to students who excel academically. Moreover, this award is meant to identify talented students who have knowledge and experience in diverse areas or backgrounds and are prepared to use this knowledge to advance the ODU campus community.</p> <p> Award recipients receive a <em>Block 160 Meal Plan</em>, which consist of 160 meals per semester and $350.00 of flex points. Flex points are an extension of the on-campus dining meal plan and are accepted only in select on-campus retail food service establishments (<em>i.e., Chick-Fil-A, ODU Food Court, Starbucks, Subway</em>). In addition, award recipients receive an ODU Bookstore Scholarship valued at $250.00 each semester. The sum total of the award, valued at over $3,500.00 annually, will enable recipients to focus on achieving academic excellence.</p> <p> Please see the attached flyer for eligibility, terms and conditions and contact information. </p>
