The range and nature of Scholar experiences will be bounded only by feasibility and the imagination and resourcefulness of successful applicants. The duration and location of the experience may vary accordingly, but the Scholar experience should be completed within a calendar year from the time a Scholar is awarded or before graduation from the University, whichever comes first. Students may complete their experience in summer, in Winter Session, or during both.
The application should propose a Scholar experience that:
- Reflects the scholar's ability
- Advances the scholar's passionate interest in some demonstrable fashion
- Is concretely and coherently conceived and planned
- Has a logical and definable duration
- Is appropriate under the terms of the program and within University rules, policies, and procedures
- Is supported by a budget demonstrating that the experience has been planned in an efficient and economical manner
- Is likely to affect the scholar's life significantly
