The Department of Political Science has established the Political Science Scholar Program to recognize the achievements and potential of a small number of our best students (approximately 20 per year).
The program provides each scholar with opportunities to enhance their undergraduate education including:
We encourage students currently in their sophomore year to apply, although students at other stages will also be considered. Students who are interested in becoming a Political Science Scholar should submit a PLS Scholars Application by March 15. Students must also have a PLS faculty member submit a PLS Scholars Faculty Nomination form on their behalf.
If you have questions about the PLS Scholars program or the application process, please contact Krista Zeig.
