The 1995 BURCHARD SCHOLARS PROGRAM IS NOW ACCEPTING APPLICATIONS

The Burchard Scholars Program brings together members of the MIT faculty and promising juniors and sophomores who have demonstrated excellence in some aspect of the humanities and social sciences as well as in science or engineering. Twenty Burchard Scholars are invited to a series of dinner-semrinars throughout the year to discuss topics of current interest introduced by faculty members and visiting scholars. The 1995 program begins in February.
