Empowering the next generation of creators, leaders, and entrepreneurs—tuition-free
At Campus, we believe that talent is everywhere—but opportunity is not. That’s why we’re proud to announce the launch of Merit Scholarships, a bold new initiative built to open doors for students with drive, grit and purpose.
We’ve teamed up with three incredible athletes who know firsthand what it takes to turn potential into power:
- Shaquille O’Neal – NBA Hall of Famer, entrepreneur, and longtime Campus supporter
- Patrick Surtain II – NFL All-Pro and community builder
- Brandon Miller – NBA rising phenom and believer in the power of mentorship
Together, we're offering a new kind of scholarship—one that doesn’t just pay for school, but surrounds students with the tools, mentorship and community to thrive.
What Is the Campus Merit Scholarship Program?
The Campus Merit Scholarship is not about test scores or GPAs. It’s about mindset. It’s for students who:
- Start things—whether that’s a side hustle, a community initiative or a movement
- Show up consistently for their team, school or family
- Inspire others and lead by example
- Are ready to work hard and take their next big shot
This isn’t just college. This is a launchpad.

Why Campus?
Because higher education shouldn’t be limited to those who can afford it.
Because talent shouldn’t go unnoticed just because it looks different.
Because young people deserve real options—ones that lead to real careers, real progress, and real change.
At Campus, we’re changing what college looks like and who it’s for.
