EuroScholars is a prestigious study abroad program designed for talented and highly-motivated undergraduate students looking to participate in international research.Participants identify an on-going project and join a research team at one of the nine renowned European research universities which make up the EuroScholars Consortium.

Once accepted into a project, students work with their home and host universities to develop a "learning agreement" for their time abroad, which gives each student the opportunity to create a program that is tailored to their unique experience, interests, and degree requirements.
