Information

The Roosevelt Scholars Program is designed to train the future leaders of the Chicago metropolitan area.  This is an honors program that attracts some of Roosevelt's most talented undergraduates--students who wish to prepare for a career and also explore the world of ideas.  By bringing students and professors together in small classes and individual research settings, the Scholar's Program fosters a strong feeling of community.  

The Scholars Program offers an enriched academic curriculum of interdisciplinary courses.  There are two concentrations in the Scholars Program, a metropolitan issues concentration and a science concentration.  Faculty members help students shape their academic programs, and professional mentors--accomplished leaders--keep students on the path to success.  Internships and research opportunities at leading business, cultural, medical, and government organizations are offered throughout the program.  Generous merit scholarship support is available in addition to need-based financial aid.  Admission to the program is competitive.  Prospective students should submit the Roosevelt Scholars Application, available at the Admissions office on both campuses.  Please see the director of the Scholars Program for more details.  

Scholars can come from any academic major, and the program encompasses students of a variety of backgrounds, experiences, careers, and ages.  There are student groups at each campus aimed at enriching the community feeling of Scholars and providing new and exciting experiences for the participants of this program.
