Why does Hampden-Sydney offer automatic scholarships to Eagle Scouts? Bryan Wendell, Boy Scouts of America blogger asks President Larry Stimpert for the scoop.

Eagle Scouts who attend Hampden-Sydney receive an automatic scholarship worth $5,000 per year amounting to $20,000 over four years. This explains why 12.6 percent of students currently enrolled at Hampden-Sydney are Eagle Scouts. Bryan Wendell, Boy Scouts of America blogger explains why—when it comes to leadership, honor, service, and character—all trails lead to Hampden-Sydney College.
