The Ohio State Scholars Program at The Ohio State University offers academically motivated students the opportunity to meet and live with other students who share similar interests. Each of the seventeen programs are centered around a particular theme or area of study with curricular and co-curricular components coordinated to build community.

Since membership to each Scholars program is only open to new first year students enrolling on Columbus campus in autumn semester, the application to a Scholars program is integrated into the admission process to the University. Students who are applying for admission in the College of Engineering can apply to any of the Scholars programs offered by the university! Each program is centered around a theme or area of study, and students can apply to programs of interest regardless of their intended major.

The College of Engineering currently sponsors two Scholars programs: the Green Engineering Scholars program and the Humanitarian Engineering Scholars program.
