Scholar
The Scholar Program is a concurrent enrollment partnership between La Roche University and a number of Western Pennsylvania high schools. Since 1995, Scholar has enabled qualified sophomore, junior, and senior high school students to earn credits toward a college degree.
Scholar students are part of La Roche’s community, and we are hopeful that these students choose to remain at La Roche for their whole college experience. We believe in encouraging students to become lifelong learners who can participate in the resolution of social, political and moral issues that face our society today.
Why Enroll in Scholar?
- Save money! Scholar program courses are only $240, a small fraction of the cost of standard tuition.
- You could jump-start your college career with credits earned in academic core or general elective classes, not including any AP credits you’ve earned.
- Scholar students surveyed report increased discipline and confidence in their ability to pursue their higher education goals.
Enrollment in Scholar through DualEnroll.com
La Roche uses DualEnroll.com for student enrollment in Scholar courses, obtaining required approvals and collecting payment of tuition.
Students must first create an account that will be used throughout their years of participation in the program. From within their account, students complete the application, make selections from the Scholar course offerings available at their respective partner high school, and register for eligible courses during each applicable enrollment period.
Automated enrollment status notifications are sent via email to students and parents throughout the registration process at completion of each step, from initiation of a new registration to confirmation of official enrollment.
