What is the relationship between the Jefferson Scholars Program and the Echols Scholars Program?
Officially, none. The Echols Program is administered by the College of Arts and Sciences. The Jefferson Scholars program is under the auspices of the Alumni Association. The Echols Program is limited to the College; Jefferson Scholars span Architecture, Engineering, Commerce, and Nursing as well. However, the great majority of Jefferson Scholars are in the College and of these, many are awarded Echols status. This is not automatic; there are Jefferson Scholars in the College who are not Echols Scholars. However, the Programs do cooperate warmly in co-sponsoring activities, such as the Great Ideas Lecture Series, and work closely in many other areas.
