Students must be recommended for the Groups Scholars Program, which offers academic, financial, and social support, along with specialized courses and activities. We are proud of these three students for earning a spot in this outstanding program at one of the best colleges in the state, and even in the nation!
Created in 1968, the Groups Scholars Program is open to students who are poised to overcome challenges such as being the first in their family to attend college, or other socioeconomic barriers. Groups Scholars spend a little over six weeks during the summer before their freshman year living on campus and taking courses in Business, Informatics, Public Health, Sociology and many more while being introduced to the campus and establishing a network of social and academic support.
