The College Scholars Program (CSP) at UC Santa Cruz provides opportunities for highly motivated students to build community with like-minded individuals during their freshman year and the beginning of their sophomore year so they can learn and explore the concept of research at a research university.
College Scholars come from across all five academic divisions and all ten UCSC colleges, which permits students to reach across the campus and its wide, diverse range of opportunities for research and community-building experiences.
Participants stay with the program for four quarters, during years 1 and 2—the time when research shows most attrition happens. During this time, they live together in community with peer mentors and engage in peer-led orientation to student life. They complete supplementary activities, special courses, small seminars, and a faculty research colloquium to explore the questions that drive researchers and what forms research can take.
Opportunities such as the one CSP offers to students are imperative for a research university like UC Santa Cruz. The program is in need of support to make sure we provide accessibility to the surrounding communities so our scholars can continue to attend as many academic and non-academic seminars, workshops, and career- and community-building opportunities as possible.
