College/University Scholars Programs
Many colleges and universities have undergraduate scholars and scholarship programs on their campuses. The schools are highly selective in choosing academically high-achieving students who also excel in leadership and service. These premier scholars programs offer a wealth of enhanced learning opportunities for these students.
Scholars Programs are designed to bring top students to campuses following a highly selective and rigorous screening and selection process that may include:
-
an application separate from an institution's admissions application; and
-
regional and/or campus-based final selection activities (individual and group interviews, group seminars, discussions, writing exercises).
Scholars are often offered:
-
a competitive financial aid package;
-
dedicated mentoring and advising, from staff, faculty and peers;
-
enhanced educational opportunities, including seminars, studies abroad, discussion series, workshops, and/or certification experiences;
-
programs to enhance leadership, citizenship, and professional and intellectual development; and/or
-
opportunities for alumni to serve and interact with current students.
The list below includes some of the country's most generous Scholars Programs. These programs and more are also listed on Naviance.
