About Lipscomb
SALT Scholar
The ultimate level of a student’s academic involvement in service-learning is represented by attaining the designation of SALT Scholar, a reflection of significant participation in service-learning activities.
The SALT Scholar is a student who has become an expert in service-learning in the context of our campus and whose investment in service-learning experiences reflects an obvious academic interest in serving others and learning from that service.
Students who become SALT Scholars will have the opportunity to participate as leaders in Lipscomb’s service-learning program. At graduation, SALT Scholars will be designated in special ways, both in graduation regalia and on the graduation program.
To become a SALT Scholar a student must:
- Participate in at least one SALT service day experience
- Complete one SALT course (this course must be separate from a SALT mission experience, SALT internship, or SALT cooperative)
- Participate in at least one of the following:
- SALT mission experience
- SALT internship
- SALT cooperative
- Complete a SALT capstone experience by developing, planning, and executing an individual service-learning experience in association with a university faculty member and the SALT Center director.
