Learn more about your impact
The James Mitchell Young Scholarship was established to provide support for deserving students and enable them to experience the benefits that ASU and Barrett, The Honors College, have to offer. This scholarship helps cover the tuition or the fees of Barrett students who demonstrate financial need and have shown promise in the Human Event or History of Ideas classes. Both these classes require students to use critical thinking and discussion as well as argumentative writing to consider the social and intellectual development of humans. Your gift will allow Barrett Honors students to further their education and experience the full Barrett experience. Your generosity will help ensure deserving students continue to have access to thrive within Barrett.
