This highly competitive program is sponsored and administered by the Batten Institute, a Darden Center of Excellence focused on entrepreneurship, innovation and technology.

In addition to substantial scholarship awards, the cohort-based program has multiple components to help Scholars pursue their purpose and goals, such as enrichment opportunities, curated conversations, special events, and connections to fellow Scholars, alumni, staff, and faculty.
