Savit Scholars are selected annually from among the pool of student grant applicants with priority given to projects with impact in the arts and humanities.  Savit Scholars are recognized for work that promises to push disciplinary boundaries and create new space for creativity, expression and connection.

Since 2017, Savit Scholars have expanded the possibilities for performance art, opened new ways of thinking about apparel design, produced a stage play from the testimonies of military veterans, created more interactive virtual reality experiences, opened inclusive spaces for LGBTQ+ athletes at CU Boulder, and pushed boundaries in art and film.

Funding is provided, in part, by the Savit Family Endowment.
