The University Scholar Program is one of the most prestigious programs for undergraduates at the University of Connecticut. Available to students from all of the University’s schools and colleges, the University Scholar Program allows students to design and pursue an in-depth research project and to craft an individualized plan of study that supports their intellectual interests during their final three semesters. This program is especially appropriate for intellectually curious, creative, and talented students who are juniors and ready to take the initiative to craft an innovative project. Please encourage them to apply.

Students apply during the first semester of their junior year. Students intending to apply this Fall submitted a letter of intent in September. Their full proposals are due Nov. 7, 2014. For details start here: universityscholars.uconn.edu/application-overview

It is not too early to encourage sophomores to consider the University Scholar Program. These students might benefit from enrolling in a relevant course or engaging in independent study focused on their potential research or creative interests during Spring 2015. We will hold information sessions in April 2015 for students who may wish to apply to the University Scholar Program in Fall 2015.

If you have questions about the University Scholar Program, please contact the coordinator at monica.vanbeusekom@uconn.edu  or 860-486-0324.
