PURPOSE AND OVERVIEW
The purpose of the Experiential Student Scholar Program is to engage students in experiential
project partnerships with faculty. Experiential projects are defined as:
Inquiries, investigations, or projects that bridge theory with practice and require engaged learning
characterized by active collaboration with a faculty mentor, application of discipline specific
theories, real-world problem solving, and simulation of skills external to the classroom.
The program is centered on the student learning outcomes (SLOs) identified in the University’s Quality
Enhancement Plan Pioneering Pathways: Learn by Doing. These include:
SLO
1: effectively connecting classroom theories to real-world experiences through practical
application of knowledge; and
SLO
2: accurately assessing knowledge and skills related to personal or professional goals
including collaboration, application, and problem-solving.
CATEGORIES
Projects with a service learning and civic engagement focus may be submitted in any category which
applicants feel is most appropriate.
Appli
ed Research and Creative Activity – Projects in this category are designed to utilize
theoretical concepts in conjunction with primary and/or secondary data in developing solutions to
real-world problems related to the student’s discipline. Examples include the creation of artifacts,
products, programs, or strategies that contribute to solving the identified problem. Applied
research and creative activity makes original contributions to the discipline by providing practical
and actionable solutions to a specific phenomenon, situation, or problem.
Basi
c or Scientific Research – Basic or scientific research is hypothesis driven and designed to
address and/or test specific scientific questions and theories. Examples include theoretically
sound conceptual research designs which may include scientific experimentation related to the
student’s discipline.

internships specifically related to their discipline. Students must complete projects that bridge
theory with practice while completing the internship and must be supervised by a faculty mentor

Educ
ation Abroad – This category is intended to support and assist students in completing
courses or experiential projects while studying abroad. Projects must include a practical, applied,
