Becoming a Baker
Who are the Baker Scholars?
The Baker Scholars encompass a large variety majors and career interests—sophomores from every academic major in the College may apply. Candidates demonstrate a strong academic record and a dedication to service. To be a Baker Scholar, one must also demonstrate an active interest in business. Though all Bakers are motivated and talented in different ways, there are no benchmarks or standards used in their selection.
