Scholars Program

What is the Lawrence Tech Scholars Program?

The Scholars Program is an interdependent, cohesive community for students who support each other’s academic and life goals.

Becoming a Scholar offers numerous benefits, including an academic support network (peer tutoring and peer mentoring), a social support network (fun community-building activities), and a professional mindset to help students succeed at Lawrence Tech, take advantage of the total university experience, and enhance internship/co-op opportunities.

The Scholars Program is designed to increase student academic success, promote leadership skills, and foster professionalism among its members. Students from all majors are welcome.

The success of the Lawrence Tech Scholars Program is based upon Scholars helping and learning from other Scholars.

This program is supported by the King-Chavez-Parks Initiative through the State of Michigan, and created in partnership with the award-winning Biology Scholars Program at the University of California, Berkeley .

The LTU Scholars Program is just one of the KCP Programs on our campus. Programs developed with KCP support include the Arts and Sciences Undeclared Advising Program, Campus Connections, The Margosian Academic Achievement Center, Academic Pre-Courses, Commuter Student Programs, and Clinical Counseling Services.

Departments
Humanities, Social Sciences, + Communication

In Humanities, Social Sciences, and Communication, we explore what makes us uniquely human. Through ancient and modern texts, social norms, and communication, we uncover how these fields are essential to all careers and human endeavors.

Math + Computer Science

In a world of programming, proofs, and unending figures and unfeeling facts, is there room for a touch of magic? Data drives discovery, innovation redefines intelligence, and when curiosity meets logic, mathematics can be miraculous.

Natural Sciences

Curiosity drives discovery in biology, chemistry, and physics, guiding us from molecular interactions to chemical reactions and the fundamental laws of nature. Explore what makes you curious.
