The opportunity for a unique set of enrichment activities truly sets the program apart from other scholarships.

They also have one-on-one interaction with peer mentors, faculty mentors and corporate and industry leaders. Examples of past enrichment opportunities include:

Each CEAT Scholar will graduate fully prepared to walk into any organization with an understanding of the global marketplace and its impact on that industry and this country.
