The Ellison Undergraduate Scholars Program is a distinguished academic initiative designed to provide exceptional undergraduate students with unique opportunities for intellectual growth, research exploration, and personal development. Established by a generous endowment from the Ellison family, the program aims to support and nurture talented students who demonstrate exceptional academic potential, leadership qualities, and a commitment to making a positive impact in their communities and beyond.
Open to incoming freshmen and transfer students, the Ellison Undergraduate Scholars Program offers a comprehensive array of benefits, including financial support, academic mentorship, research opportunities, and personalized programming. Recipients of the Ellison scholarship receive a substantial financial award to cover tuition, fees, and other educational expenses, enabling them to focus on their studies and fully engage in extracurricular activities and research pursuits.
One of the distinguishing features of the Ellison Undergraduate Scholars Program is its emphasis on personalized mentorship and academic enrichment. Each scholar is paired with a faculty mentor who provides guidance, support, and encouragement throughout their undergraduate journey. Mentors help scholars navigate their academic and career goals, explore research opportunities, and connect with resources and opportunities within the university and beyond.
In addition to academic support, the Ellison Undergraduate Scholars Program offers a variety of enrichment activities, including seminars, workshops, and networking events, designed to foster intellectual curiosity, critical thinking, and interdisciplinary collaboration. Scholars have the opportunity to engage with leading scholars, experts, and practitioners in their fields of interest, gaining valuable insights and expanding their intellectual horizons.
Moreover, the Ellison Undergraduate Scholars Program encourages scholars to pursue research and creative projects under the guidance of faculty mentors. Scholars have access to funding, resources, and support to conduct independent research, present their findings at conferences, and publish their work in academic journals. This hands-on research experience not only enhances scholars’ academic credentials but also prepares them for graduate study or careers in their chosen fields.
The Ellison Undergraduate Scholars Program is a prestigious and transformative opportunity for high-achieving undergraduate students to excel academically, pursue their passions, and make a meaningful impact in their communities. Through financial support, personalized mentorship, and academic enrichment, the program empowers scholars to realize their full potential and become leaders and innovators in their respective fields. The Ellison Undergraduate Scholars Program exemplifies a commitment to excellence, diversity, and academic achievement, enriching the educational experience for all students at the institution.
EIT’s innovation projects will span the full development pipeline — translating research and discovery into practical solutions, and scaling these for global impact. Ellison Scholars will be active contributors to these projects, innovating to solve global problems across EIT’s four humane endeavours through technological advancements across the Institute’s ongoing projects.
EIT, alongside the University of Oxford, is committed to developing the global technology innovators and leaders of the future. In addition to the project-based learning with EIT and mentorship from world experts in the EIT Faculty, the Ellison Scholars programme fully funds course fees for undergraduate or graduate study at the University of Oxford, and includes a generous stipend to cover all living expenses, plus the equivalent of paid internships.
Requirements For The Ellison Undergraduate Scholars Program
- The Ellison Scholars programme is looking for at least twenty candidates from around the world each year, who are passionate about solving humanity’s most serious problems.
- Scholars will fully commit to both their study at the University of Oxford and their ongoing project work with EIT.
Benefits
Make Meaningful Project Contributions
Join a team with other Scholars and the EIT Faculty of Fellows to work on important projects during the academic year and summers. The projects will initially be designed by a Faculty Fellow and the Scholar will be chosen to help advance the goals of the project. Design and build software, sensors, small molecules, proteins, new materials—the only limits—imagination and natural law.
Interdisciplinary Collaboration
Each Scholar will be chosen by an EIT Faculty Fellow to work collaboratively on their project. All projects are multidisciplinary and are comprised of a team that includes other Scholars, the Faculty of Fellows, other EIT scientists and engineers, as well as students and faculty of affiliated universities to help the Scholar achieve their goals.
Fully Funded Studies & Internships
An academic scholarship that funds all course fees at the University of Oxford, with a generous stipend to cover things such as travel, programming, accommodation and living expenses. The multi-year programme includes the equivalent of paid internships, with continued work on a project within EIT’s humane endeavours.
State of the Art Facilities
Los Angeles and Oxford campuses include laboratories for robot development, state of the art proteomic analysis and genomic sequencing, laboratories to study and engineer biology, advanced cloud-controlled greenhouses, and the world’s largest computer for designing and training artificial neural networks: a 16,000 node NVIDIA H100 GPU supercluster interconnected by low latency, high bandwidth RDMA network.
Lifelong Scholars Network
The relationship of the Scholar with EIT will not end after they receive an Oxford degree—they will have ongoing access to EIT technology and human assets as they continue working toward profound change in their home country and around the world. Projects may receive long-term future funding as spin-off companies. We expect Alumni Scholars will provide mentorship and guidance to future Scholars.
Application Deadline: 1 August 2024.
