Our Opportunities

We strive to provide as many opportunities as possible for students to develop personally, creatively, academically and professionally.

Norlin Scholars can develop leadership and professional skills as UEP Office Assistants. Office Assistants are student employees who perform tasks crucial to UEP鈥檚 functioning, including event planning, updating social media and communications, and more. They are hired, supervised and evaluated by the UEP Office Manager. They gain office skills, learn what it means to work in a higher education context, and work in collaboration with the Office Manager and Director of UEP.

When available, Norlin Scholars program can provide additional funding for special academic or professional activities or projects. If funds are available, students will receive an email indicating that is the case. It's a good idea to track all of your extra-curricular involvement within the community so that you can make a case for funding. You will find the guidelines here.

The University of 欧美口爆视频 Law School has an agreement with UEP to provide law school networking events. To encourage and aid in the application process for Norlin Scholars, the Law School will do the following:

  • Provide an application fee waiver to each interested applicant, for a $65 savings. Applicants should contact the admissions office at lawadmin@colorado.edu to request a fee waiver prior to submitting their application.
  • Guarantee automatic admission for any scholar applicant with at least a score of 164 on the LSAT and a cumulative GPA of at least 3.5. An automatic two-year deferral is available for anyone who is admitted to the Law School and then participates in either the Peace Corps or Teach for America.
  • Offer a special information session for scholars at the Law School to introduce these students to our community and give them the opportunity to talk with Law School faculty, students, and administrators.
  • Invite interested scholars to attend special events at the Law School throughout the school year, including special speakers and conferences.

The  beginning October 1 of each year. Please contact Kristine Jackson, Senior Assistant Dean of Enrollment Management, for any questions at kristine.jackson@colorado.edu or 303-492-7085.

 

What Norlin scholars say about our opportunities:

"As a Norlin Scholar, I have developed countless skills to navigate the complexities of my daily life and decisions. Nevertheless, one message sticks out in particular: think about your why. In only my short time as a scholar within this beautiful program, my sensory acceptance of my environment has become a critical evaluation. Now, when I make decisions, I consider a variety of perspectives I previously overlooked. Anyone willing to embrace this program's challenges can do the same."

"UEP excells in providing support and a space for people who are open and committed to learning about themselves holistically -- in areas not only limited to academic success, but personal belonging and value."
