BECOME A SCHOLAR TODAY

The Scholars Program is designed for students who are interested in an interdisciplinary approach to their future. Through our Scholars Program, students are granted the opportunity to fully immerse themselves in a concentration of their choosing. Each concentration has been specifically tailored to provide an extensive and multifaceted approach to a student’s chosen field. All Scholars are eligible to enter a semiannual essay competition to win a prestigious $2,000 scholarship from Harvard Student Agencies.  

Qualifications

There are four different concentrations students can take to become Scholars. To help you achieve a concentration, we offer $50 off if you take two courses in the same discipline. Once you’ve fulfilled these requirements, you can apply to be a Scholar. We will require you to upload proof of completion of all academies, so please wait until after you have taken all the necessary academies to apply.
