Admission & Aid

Scholars Programs

Each year during the application review process the admission staff identifies individuals of extraordinary talent and promise for our Alumni Memorial Scholars program, the Benton Scholars program, and Colgate’s Summer Institute program. Each student in these programs is poised to enhance the Colgate community through their engagement and contributions, and also through the collective impact of the larger group. Within a community of talented students, the scholars of these programs indeed set the standard for achievement and participation on campus.

Students for these three honors are selected by the admission committee without separate application or nomination and students are informed of their selection at the time of acceptance.
