Why is Hunt Special?
Approximately 20 students will receive the Hunt Leadership Scholarship each year.
In 2021-2022, we have 78 Hunt Leadership Scholars, first-year through senior, from all across the United States. Hunt Leadership Scholars span the majors of the curriculum and have widely varying backgrounds, interests, and activities. Their majors (or double majors, or majors with minors) include the fields of History, Anthropology, Public Policy, Biology, Advertising, Corporate Communications and Public Affairs, Engineering, Marketing, Finance, Economics, and numerous interdisciplinary studies.Scholars have unique opportunities to learn from leaders and attend forums and discussions with a variety of global changemakers. First-year Hunt Scholars take a leadership development course together during each of their first two semesters on campus. Sophomore Hunt Scholars enroll in a comparative leadership course during the spring semester that concludes with a funded international trip. Junior Hunt Scholars participate in a year-long alumni mentor program focused on professional development.
Please note that all finalists for the Class of 2026 have been notified at this time.
