Student Scholars Programs

The Charles Center is administrative home to several of the College's distinguished student scholars' programs.

James Monroe Scholars are guaranteed a $3,000 summer research grant. They also participate in the Monroe Lunch series of lecture/discussions, gaining exposure to new and different topics in scholarship, courses, programs and careers; and have access to various resources and may seek special funding for summer research projects.

Murray Scholars participate in specially designed seminars, study for a semester at Oxford University, and, under the guidance of a faculty mentorship team, design an innovative cross-disciplinary major and capstone research project.

Sharpe Community Scholars learn from one another in a shared service-learning course, live together in a dedicated residence hall, and participate in local community projects that develop their problem-solving and leadership skills.
