Applications for the Summer 2024 Monson Seminar are now open.

Apply here.

Accepted students will receive fellowships funding the full cost of their tuition (for 3-credits). Preference will be given to Pell-eligible and first-generation college students who will have completed two years of college by Summer 2024. Room and board costs are covered by Monson Arts. 


Seminar students will participate in an honors-level interdisciplinary course and work with an advisor on an independent creative or scholarly project. Students may use the Seminar to develop or continue work on a thesis or capstone project, or as an opportunity to explore a new subject area or discipline. Subject areas will be subject to faculty availability, but students in all disciplines excluding those requiring lab or production equipment are encouraged to apply. Students will be admitted to the program based on academic record, the quality and feasibility of the proposed project, and recommenders’ confidence in students’ ability to live productively in a close community.
