Scholar Days
The University of Kansas is proud to host Scholar Days. This day is designed for students who have demonstrated outstanding academic achievement and will showcase specialized academic and research opportunities.

How do I get invited?
Scholar Days are designed for National Merit, National Hispanic, and National Achievement Scholars and other students with similar academic achievements. This day is an invitation only event, and invitations to these events are mailed throughout the academic year. Registration is limited.

What will I do at Scholar Day?
On Scholar Days, we will showcase distinctive research and academic opportunities, including the KU Honors Program. You will hear from current KU students, interact with our outstanding faculty, visit key academic sites, and will be our guest for lunch. In the afternoon, you have the options to tour student housing facilities and take a walking tour of campus. Participants should plan to stay with the group for the duration of the program.
