Community for Opportunities in Research Excellence (CORE)

CORE Scholars are students who have a passion for science, are dedicated to making a positive difference in the world, and are committed to fostering inclusive excellence in STEM education.

CORE Scholars Program rests on three key pillars:

Community

Build an inclusive community of science scholars with shared passions and goals

Engineering students working together on math problems

Opportunity

Engage in STEM research and career exploration activities at UVA and beyond

Student working in science lab

Excellence

Pursue excellence at UVA both inside and outside of the classroom

It is time to not only look at STEM as a content in the classroom or a workforce development idea, but also something that can impact and inspire us in our everyday lives.

CORE Scholars is supported in part by a grant to University of Virginia from the Howard Hughes Medical Institute through the Science Education Program.
