The Hunt Scholars Program is an endowed scholarship that was established by the Hunt Family in 1993. The aim of the program is to recognize and award students who exhibit exceptional leadership capacity along with their strong academic performance.
The Hunt Scholarship will replace and supersede any centrally administered merit aid, but Hunt Scholars may also be eligible for additional departmental scholarships or need-based aid for a total scholarship package valued up to the cost of tuition and fees. In addition, because leaders of the 21st century will need to have a global vision in any area of leadership, the scholarship also covers the airfare and program costs for a leadership-based study abroad experience immediately following each scholar's sophomore year.
