Welcome to College Park Scholars
College Park Scholars is a community of twelve interdisciplinary living-learning programs for academically talented first- and second-year students. Each program focuses on a specific theme and offers specially designed courses and experiences that relate to its theme. Students in College Park Scholars take classes together and live together in selected residence halls.

11th Annual "Step to Bat for Kids" Charity Softball Tournament
Each spring the College Park Scholars community comes together for a day of fun, competition, and a spirit of giving while raising thousands of dollars to benefit children in our community and around the world. This year the 11th annual “Step to Bat for Kids” Charity Softball Tournament will take place on Saturday, May 3, 2008. Teams representing each of the 12 Scholars programs will play against one another for the chance to donate a portion of the money raised to their designated charity. Last year Scholars students raised over $2,000, all of which went to help children locally and around the world. This year we are well on our way to matching that goal.
Come join us for this fun and worthwhile event starting at 9:00 a.m. with the Scholars Alumni Exhibition game followed by the opening Ceremonies at 10:00 a.m. on the UM Engineering Fields. Hope to see you there!
