The Erskine College Presidential Scholarship is the most prestigious undergraduate scholarship offered at Erskine. The scholarship recognizes the 15 individuals who have served as president of Erskine College, beginning in 1839 with Dr. E. E. Pressly, to the current president, Dr. David A. Norman. The Presidential Scholarship covers tuition, room, board, and fees, minus any state, federal, and outside scholarships or grants. The value of the scholarship over four years is approximately $150,000. The Presidential Scholarship is renewable for a total of four years of study; the recipient must maintain an Erskine GPA of 3.0 and uphold the ideals and standards of Erskine College.
