LAWRENCE The 40th class of University Scholars and their faculty mentors were recently recognized during digital receptions hosted by the University of Kansas. The University Scholars Program is designed to recognize and encourage academically talented and motivated sophomores who have demonstrated intellectual achievement and curiosity.
Competitively selected from KU’s sophomore class, University Scholars receive a $1,500 scholarship and are assigned a faculty mentor to support the development of their academic interests and engagement with research. The close and continuing working relationships between professors and University Scholars, as well as the seminar’s role as a vehicle for interdisciplinary exchange on a topic of contemporary interest, provides a rich and challenging environment for all participants. The University Scholars program prepares students for academic excellence now, while at KU, and in leadership roles once they have graduated.
