Welcome to the New Century Scholars Program, one of SMU’s most distinctive communities. Students who have demonstrated high academic achievement on their applications to SMU may be invited to join the New Century Scholars Program. We select students who have much to offer the University and the community; therefore, consider it an honor to have been chosen for the New Century Scholars!
This exciting program will provide students with a ready-made community of like-minded individuals who will live in the same dorm and take ENGL 1301 and ENGL 1302 together. In addition, students in NCSP will receive more individualized attention, and they will gain more personal interaction with classmates inside and outside of the classroom as they work on a community service project their first year at SMU. If you choose to become part of NCSP, you will join other First-Year Students who want to do well academically and take an active part in giving back to the community.
Since the program is new to SMU, you have an opportunity to impact the future of the community and make a difference your first year at SMU!
