The Sharpe Community Scholars Program is a program for first-year students. Our goal is to connect academic work to real-world community action. Sharpe Scholars

• Enroll in courses specifically designed to teach how to conduct ethical community research
• Apply for special summer research funding
• Live in a dormitory with other Sharpe Scholars

Do you want to make your community a better place, but are not satisfied with typical volunteer work? Are ready and willing to research community needs? Do you want to learn to draft specific plans to address real world concerns? Then apply to become a Sharpe Scholar. 

All incoming freshmen may apply to become a Sharpe Scholar. Scholars take part in all aspects of campus life and major in any discipline. More about us...
