The High-Impact Practices (HIP) Scholar’s program provides a platform for students to explore their interests and get involved in a HIP experience. These include faculty-mentored research experiences or a community engagement opportunity.

Students accepted into the program spend the first semester in the exploratory program phase. Scholars who successfully secure an experience will move into the structured HIP experience (research or community-based experience) for the second semester.

Students who move into a structured opportunity will receive a $2,000 stipend for their involvement in our educational milestones. This program is sponsored by a U.S. Department of Education Developing Hispanic Serving Institutions (HSI) grant (P031S20083) in collaboration with the Division of Student Success and Well-Being and the Office for HSI Initiatives in the University Relations Division.
