Program Overview
The Lincoln Scholars Program is a dynamic educational experience that connects students academically and socially to a community of scholars. Students have the opportunity to work alongside world-class faculty and be exposed to experiences early in their College career that help them further develop their intellectual potential and enduring skills.
Scholars
The Lincoln Scholars Program serves the members of the Lincoln Scholar community and of the broader campus community. While the pre-orientation focuses on introducing new students to the College and to the benefits and responsibilities of being a Lincoln Scholar, the true goal of the program is realized once these students immerse themselves in academic pursuits, extracurricular activities, and professional opportunities. By becoming involved members of campus, the Lincoln Scholars Program is helping students establish and grow the necessary tools to benefit the College through their dedication to the campus community. It is the program’s hope that the Lincoln Scholars Program will help students become contributors to the daily successes of Gettysburg College.
