Social Science Fellows Program
The Fellowship Advantage The Social Science Fellows Program, for those majoring in the Behavioral Sciences at High Point University, provides students with collaborative and interdisciplinary experiences, with majors in Criminal Justice, Political Science, Psychology, and Sociology/Anthropology. Social Science Fellows will grow within a cohort experience. Social Science Fellows have enhanced opportunities to gain a deeper understanding of human behavior and apply that knowledge to their own growth and scholarship. Working with committed and enthusiastic faculty, Social Science Fellows are immersed in the research and study of professional topics that explore interpersonal dynamics within the behavioral and social sciences, celebrate the shared constructs studied by students involved in the program’s majors, and benefit from the synergistic effects that come with understanding human behavior. Using a multi-faceted, interdisciplinary, and experiential approach, Social Science Fellows enrich their current academic experience and enhance their post-graduate options.
WHO SHOULD APPLY? Successful applicants to the Social Science Fellows program will have a declared major in Criminal Justice, Political Science, Psychology, or Sociology/Anthropology. The program is highly selective and is limited to the top 35 incoming students in these four majors in each entering class.
SCHOLARSHIP INFORMATION Social Science Fellows will receive a $3,000 SCHOLARSHIP renewable annually based on academic performance and continued participation in the program. This is in addition to any Presidential or High Point Scholarship.
