Leadership for the Common Good

Terp Young Scholars delivers an academic experience that is at the forefront of theory, thought, and technology. Scholars attend class, learn about career opportunities, study, work on projects, prepare for exams, and interact with their equally talented peers in a rigorous academic setting. Classes generally meet for three hours a day between 9am-1pm, Monday – Friday. Acceptance is competitive, and based upon academic performance and recommendation. Terp Young Scholars also offers afternoon, evening, and weekend activities that provide a glimpse of UMD’s rich campus life. Seminars include sessions with Undergraduate Admissions, Learning Assistance Services, and The Observatory. Workshops feature Zumba, Yoga, Drawing, Bodycombat, and Salsa. Social activities include a weekend day-trip to Washington, DC, pool parties, mixers, ice cream social (with UMD ice cream), movies, and more.
