Developing Scholars Program (DSP)
The Developing Scholars Program is an Excelencia In Education Honorable Mention
What is DSP?
DSP offers high-achieving, serious-minded, underrepresented students research projects in their field of study with faculty mentors. Scholars will receive academic, social, and financial support while becoming integrated into the intellectual climate of the university through participation in the discovery and creation of new knowledge at Kansas State University.
The program provides structured, faculty-supported opportunities for selected students who typically have not been well-represented in higher education in Kansas. If you are a student who has been historically underrepresented and are interested in doing research with faculty, you are strongly encouraged to apply.
Scholars will enroll in an introductory research seminar course for each semester of their first year. Additionally, all Scholars will attend monthly meetings consisting of team-building, lectures, presentations, and community service. Scholars will further benefit from associations with their peers across disciplines as they all challenge themselves to become the change agents in their respective fields. Research is available in any field of study that K-State offers from the sciences, the humanities, education, business, agriculture, the arts, and everything in-between.
What does DSP provide?
- A motivated peer group of achievers and leaders
- A positive and supportive climate in which to develop intellectually and socially
- A network of mentors across campus and beyond
- A guided pathway to a rewarding future
