Stamps President’s Scholars receive a full-ride scholarship, but the program is about much more than funding. The four-year participatory program develops scholars and enriches their experience. The ultimate goal of the program is to create leaders who are guided by the perspective gained from these experiences and will make it a point throughout their lifetimes to pay forward those benefits and inspiration they have received.
The full program includes:
A full-ride scholarship covering tuition, mandatory fees, housing, meal plan, books and academic supplies, personal expenses, and a stipend during the first year for a laptop.
$12,000 enrichment funding for pillar-based international experiences, unpaid internships, unpaid research, conferences, etc.
Mentoring for each cohort by two dedicated professors known as Faculty Guides.
Annual cohort retreats including one outdoor leadership Tech Trek. Trek destinations have included breathtaking areas of Alaska, Belize, Canada, Croatia, Iceland, Montana, the Minnesota Boundary Waters, and Scotland.
