Mission Statement 

To achieve our goal of empowering scholar-leaders, we help students:

Broaden Perspectives

Providing a deeper global economic-political understanding and a sense of individual self-awareness facilitates our students' abilities to adapt to change, overcome challenges and seize opportunities wherever they might rise

Get Involved

Our service and engagement opportunities encourage students to think creatively about the broad and positive role that they can play in the world, and to act on their goals and ideas

Build Relationships

Connecting with other students, faculty and leaders from business, government and non-profit sector helps students grow and develop - not only throughout their undergraduate career but also in preparation for their future academic and professional experiences.

The Huntsman Scholar Program at Utah State University is a multi-year, business honors program that develops scholar-leaders who will make a positive difference in the world.  Students are expected to acquire academic knowledge and hone practical business skills in the areas of ethical leadership, quantitative analysis, entrepreneurial spirit and global vision.

Scholar Semester

The Scholar Semester in the Huntsman Scholar Program is an intensive, 15-credit semester designed to introduce you to the integration of business and politics on a global level, and connect you with the leaders who help shape our world.

We maintain a unique "6-3-6" schedule: six weeks on-campus preparation, three weeks off-campus travel and networking, and six weeks back on-campus to process and reflect upon the experience.

Scholarship

All accepted applicants receive a scholarship to cover the costs of the three-week travel (excluding personal incidentals and free time travel).  Applicants will also receive a semester stipend of $1,000 to help defray academic and related expenses associated with the program. Upon successful completion of the program, an additional $1,000 stipend will be given.
