RAZOR`S EDGE - Nova Southeastern University

RAZOR’S EDGE
GLOBAL
Global Engagement Certificate
The Razor’s Edge-Global scholarship is designed for students entering college
as first time freshmen who have a strong interest in global issues, international
relations, and global leadership. Participants in this innovative scholarship program
must have a deep desire to continuously improve their global leadership skills
by sharing their experiences with the NSU community; and in turn, make their
contribution in the NSU overall goal of becoming truly globalized and international
citizens. Upon completion of this 4-year program, Razor’s Edge-Global participants
will demonstrate an understanding of what it is to be part of an ever evolving global
society; and will be the true representatives of what NSU expects from its students:
true global leaders changing the world one step at a time.
