Home | Enrichment Programs

The Enrichment Programs are offices that provide enhancing experiences for UConn students, encouraging them to elevate their studies.

Enrichment Programs are open to all students at all campuses. Our staff work with undergraduates to navigate competitive scholarship and fellowship competitions, offer guidance on research, engagement in the Honors Program, and advising and support for professional degrees. There are also opportunities for students to craft their own plans of study through individualized studies or the highly selective University Scholar Program.

We encourage you to explore all that Enrichment Programs can offer and invite you to be our partner in helping students reach their goals.
