A brief description of notable policies or programs to make the institution accessible and affordable to low-income students:
Provost Leadership Undergraduate Scholarship (PLUS) Program – The PLUS program was instituted to increase diversity among the undergraduate student population at Auburn University, with an emphasis on students from underserved populations. The program assists seventy students per year financially by providing a $2,000 scholarship per academic year renewable up to four years, and supports them academically and socially to ensure that they are successful at Auburn University. Retention activities include peer mentoring, workshops on time management and study skills, tutoring and counseling services, leadership opportunities, and enrolling new students in freshman level core classes together. https://cws.auburn.edu/diversity/Files/PLUS%20prog%202012-13%20proof%20rev.pdf
A brief description of notable policies or programs to support non-traditional students:
The Veterans Resource Center helps students make the transition from military life to civilian life at AU. The center provides students with the resources that they need in order to succeed at Auburn. The center serves students who have completed their service, interrupted their education to serve and are returning, or those who began their studies elsewhere and have transferred to Auburn.
The Successfully Orienting Students (SOS) Program is Auburn’s orientation program specifically designed for transfer students. SOS emphasizes campus life and services, meetings with academic advisors, and small group discussions on college life led by Auburn student leaders.
