Xavier’s Scholar Program is a fantastic way to build an extremely competitive college application.

Scholars work with faculty and community members to explore new ideas, to contribute to a body of research, and to create a network of community members who share expertise in the field. Qualifications, time lengths, and requirements vary for each program.
