The ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ Scholars Program is a selective, all-University, four-year honors program for students of exceptional merit.
The program includes academic expectations, professional and just-for-fun extracurricular activities, community involvement and opportunities for students to showcase their work.
Invitations for fall 2025:
Entry into the ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ Scholars Program is by invitation only and no supplemental application materials are required. All ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ applicants are screened for admission. All fall 2025 invitations have been extended at this time. To learn more about other honors and enrichment experiences at ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ, please see the honors consortium.
