Also, the Montgomery Scholars application for admission for fall 2012 is available online. The application deadline is January 20, 2012. To download the application and for more info: www.montgomerycollege.edu/admissions/MCScholars.

Please note changes in the summer travel experience: Pending sufficient funding, Montgomery Scholars will participate in a study travel program as an integral part of the Montgomery Scholars Program. The study travel program is an extension of the first-year Montgomery Scholars curriculum and a bridge to the second-year curriculum. It emphasizes scholarship, independence, interdisciplinary links, cultural awareness, and a dorm experience.

The Scholars Program will focus on summer study travel experiences in the United States for upcoming students for the near future. It will continue to emphasize global research and interdisciplinary ties in its curriculum. For example, in the summer of 2012, the study travel program is to Warren Wilson College in Asheville, North Carolina. Scholars will take part in the Swannanoa Gathering (a music festival), as well as cultural and service learning activities.
