University of Virginia
The Jefferson Scholars Foundation runs two undergraduate scholarship programmes at the University of Virginia, recruiting on leadership, scholarship and citizenship across all schools including the School of Engineering and Applied Science. The foundation also funds graduate fellowships and faculty positions, so scholars sit inside a wider research community rather than a stand-alone award. Candidates are identified through a regional nomination network and a direct application route, with details published on the foundation's scholarships pages. The foundation remains active, posting programme news through September 2026.
