Emory College Woodruff Scholars Program Mission Statement
The Emory Scholars Program strives to empower students to be at the forefront of positive social change in their communities during college and throughout their lives. We do this through deep programming to develop the Scholars’ Qualities: Forceful and Unselfish Character, Creativity and Leadership, and Personal and Intellectual Vigor.
About Us
Situated in the Office for Undergraduate Education in the Emory College of Arts and Sciences, the Emory Scholars Program selects, administers, and develops programming around scholarships and academic honors.
Central to the Emory Scholars Program is our founding scholarship, the Robert W. Woodruff Scholarship. Students in the Emory Scholars Program, referred to as Emory Scholars, are undergraduate recipients of prestigious four-year full-tuition merit scholarships. This includes the Woodruff Scholarship, Woodruff-Debate Scholarship, Woodruff-Music Scholarship, Woodruff-MLK Scholarship, and, for students selected prior to 2025, the George W. Jenkins Scholarship.
Additional opportunities managed by the office of the Emory Scholars Program include the Robert T. Jones, Jr. Program, George W. Jenkins Scholarship, Dean’s Achievement Scholarship, Bredow Memorial Scholarship, Sonny Carter Scholarship, and Phi Beta Kappa.
