In addition to exceptional academic credentials, Trustee Scholars are intellectually and creatively adventurous and demonstrate viewpoints, experiences or achievements beyond the usual.

At BU, scholars also become part of a unique campus community that offers many intellectual, cultural, and social opportunities.
