The ºÚÁÏÊÓƵ 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 ºÚÁÏÊÓƵ Scholars Program is by invitation only and no supplemental application materials are required. All ºÚÁÏÊÓƵ 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 ºÚÁÏÊÓƵ, please see the honors consortium.
Please note that the Scholars Program is very small, and only 110-130 of the 50,000+ applicants to ºÚÁÏÊÓƵ are enrolled in the program each year.
Mapping the Soundscapes
In fall of 2022 the Mapping the Soundscape Scholars class began creating a sound archive, recording hours of material every week within ºÚÁÏÊÓƵ's 182 acre nature preserve.
