The Henry Rutgers Scholars Program is currently in its final year. For information about the senior honors thesis option available to SAS students, please visit the Senior Honors Thesis page.

The Henry Rutgers Scholars Program is both a respected and rewarding undergraduate experience at Rutgers University. Students in their senior year are given the opportunity to pursue original, graduate level research on a topic of their choice usually within their major. Each Henry Rutgers Scholar works with a faculty advisor on a two-semester, 12-credit independent research project, which culminates in a written thesis and an oral defense before a faculty committee.

The research that students pursue in the Program is key to their intellectual formation and pre-professional preparation, and is the stepping stone to some of the finest graduate, law, business and medical schools in the nation. The success of the Program lies in the sense of accomplishment and self-confidence the students gain in completing of their projects. The measure of the success of the Program is the high number of Henry Rutgers Scholars who go on to graduate or professional study.

The Henry Rutgers Scholars Program saw its first 21 students graduate in 1951, and has grown to include over 3000 alumni. The motto of the Henry Rutgers Scholars Program, Vis in Scientia, translates to "Strength in Knowlege."
