Colgate recognizes that not all incoming students have equal access to resources while they are in high school. OUS hosts Colgate's Undergraduate Scholars Program, a supportive four-year program that taps the potential of each OUS Scholar, particularly in terms of academic excellence and leadership in the traditions of the liberal arts. Candidates chosen to be part of the OUS Scholars program are a highly selective group of students who have demonstrated creativity and determination in the face of personal, economic, and social challenges. They have achieved success while systematically pursuing the most demanding academic paths to them. Admission to OUS is determined at the time of admission to Colgate, and no separate application is necessary.
