Message from the President

The Templeton Scholars program is one of the most competitive and distinctive programs at Ohio University. If you are selected as a scholar, you will indeed belong to a very carefully chosen cadre of students.

As a Templeton Scholar, you will be deeply engaged and enriched by a variety of intellectual and cultural topics and events. There are opportunities to delve into the areas of politics, humanities, economics, science, arts, and the environment, just to name a few. In addition, research, service, and student-led discussions will be a core part of your experience as a selected scholar.

The Templeton Scholars Program provides valuable educational opportunities designed to enrich the intellectual experiences of talented students from disproportionately represented  populations. The program promotes personal, social, cultural, and academic excellence as well as professional development. This vision is achieved through creative programs and faculty-mentored research, scholarship, creativity, and character education.

Objectives

• Provide support services that lead to academic success.
• Create opportunities for leadership development and student engagement.
• Assist students with career exploration.
• Provide opportunities for intercultural dialogue and multicultural education.
• Encourage participation in campus and community service organizations.
