3. History of the Echols Scholars Program - The University of Virginia
The Echols Scholars Program expanded rapidly in the late 1970s and early 1980s. From the original class of a few dozen students in 1964, the Program was ...
The Echols Scholars Program was created by the University of Virginia Faculty Senate in 1960. At the time, the University Faculty were eager to create an Honors Program in the rapidly expanding College of Arts and Sciences. The University had grown rapidly in the 1950s, largely due to the influx of Second World War veterans enrolling under the G.I. Bill. Peer universities had reacted to a similar explosion in student numbers by creating innovative programs; the University of Virginia sought a similar goal by a unique solution. Rather than create a purely financial merit scholarship, or an entirely new honors college with its own faculty and courses, the Faculty Senate decided upon a model which would provide ambitious academic privileges to students while retaining them within the College of Arts & Sciences. Additionally, the faculty decided upon the common living environment in order to provide for community and regular interaction among the Scholars.
