The King-Morgridge Scholars Program supports our participants in various ways, including but not limited to the following:
>> A nearly two-week orientation program for each new cohort which is held on-campus in late August prior to scholars starting their first term.
>> Community building among individual cohorts as well as across cohorts that are concurrently enrolled on-campus.
>> Individualized support assisting scholars with their transition to the US and campus life; navigating our institution; and making the most out of their Wisconsin Experience.
>> Facilitating connections to campus resources, such as
- Learning support services, academic services (including major exploration and advising), and career services,
- Faculty (appropriate utilization of office hours and research opportunities),
- Student organizations; leadership, public service, and research opportunities,
- Physical and mental health services, and
- International student support and opportunities [International Student Services (ISS), International Academic Programs (IAP), and the Institute for Regional and International Studies (IRIS)].
>> Specialized programming for the King-Morgridge Scholars community.
>> One spring break trip during your sophomore or junior year focused on cultural and historical exploration of the U.S., as well as professional connections and networking opportunities.
>> Travel booking to support for annual trip home, and bringing family members to Madison, WI for graduation.
