The John B. Ervin Scholars Program was founded on four pillars - academic excellence, leadership, community service, and diversity. All scholars are expected to exemplify these ideals to be competitive for this program. Recipients must participate in a variety of opportunities as part of the program, including a special orientation to WashU, meetings with university and community leaders, academic support and advising, and events with other Ervin Scholars and the program's administrators. Ervin Scholars are also expected to engage in organizations and activities on campus and service projects in the community. This award is open only to U.S. Citizens, permanent residents, and undocumented or DACA students living in the U.S.. Students who apply to any undergraduate division of Washington University may apply for the Ervin Scholars Program. Finalists will be notified by the end of February and invited to a virtual interview. Finalists must attend the interview to remain eligible.
