Newcomb Institute

Newcomb Scholars Program

The Newcomb Scholars Program selects twenty intellectually curious and motivated undergraduates each year to participate in an academically rigorous interdisciplinary gender equity and feminist leadership research training experience. The program is designed to support students’ academic growth toward development of independent scholarship in their discipline or field. Together, the Scholars create a community of diverse thinkers, leaders, and change agents which challenges and empowers them to be innovative feminist leaders in the 21st century.
