The Holster Scholar Program is a selective enrichment opportunity available only to curious first-year Honors students. The program supports a small number of students who wish to complete independent research, design, or creative projects in the summer following their first year at UConn.

First-year Honors students who are interested are welcome to join us in the Buckley Classroom at 6:00PM on Thursday, September 21 for an introduction to the program followed by a Q&A. The session will be led by Dr. Vin Moscardelli, Director of the Office of National Scholarships and Fellowships and Coordinator of the Holster Scholar Program.

UConn Honors students are eligible to start their UHL Leadership Experience at any time! The first step is to attend a Leadership Workshop conducted by the Honors GPS team, which we encourage you do during the academic year in which you intend to begin your project. If you feel you are ready to begin your Honors Leadership Experience, you can RSVP for one of the dates on Nexus under the Events tab.

Virtual workshops will take place in the Honors GPS Webex: https://uconnvtc.webex.com/meet/honorsgps

The Leadership Experience must be done completely proactively. This means that your Leadership Action Plan must be approved by your GPS coach, and you must meet with your coach before starting any part of your Leadership Experience. Projects that have already been started in any way can not be accepted to count for your Leadership experience.

**Please note: The Leadership Workshop is the required first step of the UHL Leadership Experience, and therefore does NOT count toward the UHL Events Requirement.
