Undergraduate Fellows Program

The Benson Center is now accepting applications from CU Boulder undergraduates for our Undergraduate Fellows Program. Undergraduate Fellows are offered special opportunities to engage with the Center, including discussions with visiting scholars, private receptions with prominent visitors, and advance notice about events and conferences. Our goal in creating the Benson Center Fellows program is to foster an environment of serious intellectual inquiry for all students who desire to learn more about the moral, economic, and political questions of our time. “My biggest gain from being involved with the Center has come from being able to interact with speakers on a personal level.” --2019-20 Benson Center Undergraduate Fellow
