What is USPAA?

We are a group of higher education professionals with direct responsibility in recruiting, selecting and advising students in the premier undergraduate scholars programs on our campuses. Our programs are highly selective in choosing academically high-achieving students who also excel in leadership and service. These premier scholars programs offer a wealth of enhanced learning opportunities for these students, typically including seminars, faculty mentoring, studies abroad, and support in developing their intellectual, professional and personal potential.
