Jefferson Scholars Foundation
The Jefferson Scholars Foundation provides a full tuition scholarship program benefiting select undergraduate and graduate students at The University of Virginia and has been named as one of the two leading scholarship programs in the country.〔(The Provost's Forum )〕 Named after Thomas Jefferson, the University's founder and visionary, the Foundation aims to "identify, attract, and nurture individuals of extraordinary intellectual range and depth who possess the highest qualities of leadership, scholarship, and citizenship."〔(Jefferson Scholars Foundation Official Site ).〕 In addition to funding tuition and fees, the scholarship program provides undergraduates with extensive programming including an introductory outdoor weekend, international travel, a summer leadership and citizenship institute, internships and an extensive speaker series.
==History and Background==
Founded in the 1980-1981 academic year by the Board of Managers of the University of Virginia Alumni Association, the Jefferson Scholars Foundation was a product of the "board’s desire to put in place a tangible program that would reflect the educational ideals of Thomas Jefferson." 〔(Jefferson Scholars Foundation: About ).〕 The first class yielded twelve scholars who graduated in 1985.
In time, the Foundation worked to increase the size of incoming Jefferson Scholar classes. The regional competitions increased from just a few to the 50 that presently exist. The number of nominees has grown to over 1,500 each year, and volunteer committee participation utilizes roughly 700 U.Va. alumni who participate in the nomination and selection process.〔
