     Designed in honor of the president of Cornell University, this highly competitive program aims to bring the nation's most academically gifted students to Cornell, one of the greatest research universities in the world.

Open to all students across all academic disciplines, the CPRS program offers each student an opportunity to work with a faculty mentor. Together they design and plan an individualized program of faculty-directed research.

Other program benefits include up to $10,000 in a research support account, that may be used for wages, research-related travel, limited supplies, and summer research expenses. In addition, students may receive up to $4,000 per year in loan replacement. Research Scholars participate in a variety of academic and social activities including freshman colloquium, research in progress forums and the senior poster session; as well as events with the other Cornell Commitment programs.
