Student Responsibilities

At Shaker International Scholarship Programs (SISP), scholarship support represents not only opportunity, but responsibility.

When we serve people — and empower them toward success — there is a shared commitment that scholars uphold standards that honor their potential and reflect our core values.

We serve people to empower them toward success — so they may, in turn, serve and strengthen their own nations.

Student responsibilities ensure this mission is fulfilled with integrity, discipline, and purpose.
