Drew Action Scholars

Drew Action Scholars is a two-year program with a four-year scholarship, guided by a distinctive, results- and action-oriented approach to real-world problem-solving. Accepted students join a cohort of peers committed to community, innovation and global impact in a connected world. Complete the two year program and receive a four year scholarship of $10,000 ($2,500/year).

Recognizing the power of the experiential learning built into the Civic Scholars program, Drew University has expanded into the Drew Action Scholars program, including more students and embracing moreÑand largerÑreal-world problems and solutions.

In fall 2020, we welcomed the first class of Drew Action Scholars. If you are interested in any or all of the focus areas below, apply to earn a scholarship while joining a selective group of like-minded fellow students:
