Scholars Program
Through small classes, faculty mentoring, research and internship opportunities, and a vibrant, close community of students and alumni, the Scholars Program at Brooklyn College instills in students the values, skills, and knowledge to realize their academic, professional, and personal goals. Scholars is committed to the idea of a liberal arts education through which students think and learn across disciplines, freeing the mind to its fullest potential. The essence of such an education is not what you study but the result: gaining the ability to think critically and independently and to write, reason, and communicate clearly—the foundation for all professions.
Scholars receive a Presidential Scholarship of up to $4,000 per year, a laptop computer* and technology support, access to study abroad, research, and internship awards and scholarships, and are part of the Honors Academy, a community of students who share ideas, interests, and resources.
*Scholarship and laptop apply only to students who enter Scholars directly from high school as first-semester college students.
