Eligibility

The Institute accepts scholars from select cities where we run yearlong academic collegiate institutes. The scholars have a wide variety of interests and represent small liberal arts colleges, large universities, Ivy League institutions, and historically Black colleges and universities.

Interested candidates must meet the following guidelines:

COLLEGE FRESHMEN or SOPHOMORES

Applicants must have freshman or sophomore standing at an accredited college or university in the given city where the Collegiate Institute is based.

STRONG ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE

Although the Institute does not have a GPA requirement, transcripts are carefully reviewed. Applicants’ transcripts should reflect a rigorous and challenging course load. All majors are welcome.

CAMPUS INVOLVEMENT

Applicants should be active members of their campus communities, including student organizations, arts or athletic programs, and community service activities.

For questions or more information regarding eligibility, please email [email protected] or call 202.660.2501.
