Huntsman Scholar Program

The Huntsman Scholar Program is a highly selective undergraduate business and economics program in the Jon M. Huntsman School of Business. It is offered on the Logan campus of Utah State University. We are looking for, in Jon Huntsman’s words, “the individual sense of purpose and integrity,” in addition to academic excellence. Thus, our selection criteria include not only academic record, but examples of servant leadership, entrepreneurial spirit, and a focus on creating value. 

Students receive a $2,000 annual stipend for up to four years (may be deferred for up to two years), a funded global learning experience as part of their third year required lab, and opportunities to participate in curricular, co-curricular, and extra-curricular experiences. Students are assigned professional mentors on Day 1 and have the opportunity to build meaningful relationships with faculty, staff, alumni, and fellow students through specially designed activities.  

Once selected, students are assigned into sections of about 20 students. Each section is led by a professional mentor who meets with students individually, in small groups, and with the entire section on a regular basis. The focus of the mentoring is to provide students an avenue to discuss career and life goals and for mentors to assist with and to assess career development.

Scholars are expected to fully engage in the program and be active participants in their classes and extracurricular activities.

STUDENTS IN THE PROGRAM RECEIVE:

Individualized attention through smaller, Scholars-only sections of ten required classes

Faculty-led global learning experience

Opportunity to be part of a network of fellow scholars

$2,000 annual stipend for up to four years, totaling $8,000 (May be deferred for up to two years)

I’m grateful for my experiences in the Huntsman Scholar Program. I’ve learned from top professionals and created valuable relationships with peers. The classes and events have helped me become a better leader and entrepreneur, and the motto ‘Dare Mighty Things’ has pushed me to get involved in various clubs, competitions, and internships. This program has helped me broaden my views of business and what I can accomplish.

As a Huntsman Scholar, I learned teamwork through service-driven projects, including a hand-made tie business and business planning for a local refugee resource center. I gained a global perspective through out scholar lab in Shanghai, China... Each of these opportunities played a role in my professional development and helped prepare me to begin my career in Washington, D.C. as a congressional staffer. I would encourage students to seek out the any opportunities available in the Huntsman School of Business!
