About
the Merrill Presidential Scholars Program
The
Merrill Presidential Scholars Program honors the University of Maryland’s
most successful seniors and their designated University faculty and
K-12 teachers for their mentorship. As a University community, we honor
the Merrill Scholars and their mentors in a special ceremony and bring
teachers and faculty together in a workshop that leads to stronger collaboration
between the University and K-12 schools. The legacy of academic excellence,
teaching, and mentoring continues as scholarships are awarded in the
K-12 teacher’s name to a new first year student from that teacher’s
high school or school district. The Merrill Presidential Scholars Program
builds a community of scholars, faculty members, and K-12 teachers who
recognize and celebrate the importance of teaching and mentoring the
next generation.
