People

It's trite but true: Much of what makes Scholars, Scholars, is our people. Our faculty and staff bring a philosophy of caring, expertise in their fields, and a genuine desire to help students succeed in college and beyond.

Central Staff

College Park Scholars's Central staff provides organizational and administrative support across all of our programs. The Central staff also plays a key role in organizing Scholars's annual traditions, such as Service Day, Convocation and Academic Showcase.

Student Organizations

Make the most of your Scholars experience by getting involved in the community! College Park Scholars has a rich history of supporting student organizations. We also run a number of our own student organizations, making it easy to gain leadership experience right from the start of your college career. (Many of these groups were, in fact, founded by Scholars students who saw a need within the community and worked with Scholars faculty and staff to fill it.)

2023–2024 Programs

Each of our College Park Scholars programs has a distinct thematic focus. Under the guidance of dedicated faculty, students study a variety of contemporary and historical issues related to that theme.

On average, about 75 students enroll in each Scholars program every year.
