The sole mission of the Jefferson Scholars Foundation is to identify, attract, and nurture individuals of extraordinary intellectual range and depth who possess the highest qualities of leadership, scholarship and citizenship. We seek those with great promise who will utilize the opportunities provided by our merit scholarship to make a significant contribution in the University Virginia community.
