The Centennial Scholars Program employs many strategies to help support and retain its students. Some of those programs include the Student Administrator Instructional Faculty (SAIF) Partnership Program, the Zie Rivers Academic Mentoring Program, and the CSP Buddy System. The SAIF program allows faculty members the chance to mentor a CSP student. This is not only a great networking opportunity for the students, but it helps students feel more comfortable with professors outside of the classroom. The Zie Rivers Academic Mentoring Program aids students by offering tutoring for commonly challenging classes. The CSP Buddy System is a peer support program. Junior and Senior CSP students team up with Freshmen and Sophomore CSP students to advise them on age-specific issues, such as the best classes to take, places to live, and clubs to join.
