The Benton Scholars Program is about leadership in the global context. Students selected to participate in this program benefit from classes and experiences that will ensure they are poised for success in the 21st century.
It was developed as a model for how a liberal arts education can be sharpened to fully prepare students to think, act, and create in a world that is increasingly diverse and global.
Designed to infuse leadership and global themes into the Colgate experience, the program provides scholars with activities and selected courses that will enrich and bring new perspectives to their experiences on campus and throughout their lives.
Just as importantly, participants share their experiences with others on campus to ensure that the entire community benefits from the program.
Like all Colgate students, Benton Scholars have the freedom to shape their course of study, as well as their choice of major and activities. The program builds upon the Colgate experience rather than creating a separate track within it.
Those invited to participate in the program are students who have demonstrated not only the ability to think and lead, but also the passion to makes a positive impact on the world. This program will sharpen their skills, ignite new passions, and provide a platform to think globally about what it means to be a leader in the 21st century
