Becoming a Baker
Who are the Baker Scholars?
The Baker Scholars encompass a variety of majors and career interests and are motivated and talented in different ways. 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 interest in business.
Why become a Baker Scholar?
Every Baker sponsored activity is done in the spirit of contribution and service. Because the Baker Program affords so many opportunities for success in the business world, it grounds itself in its core mission to use business as a mechanism for change, progress, and opportunity. Baker Scholars are committed to the Georgetown Jesuit ideal of becoming leaders who are women and men for others.
