Laidlaw Scholars Leadership & Research Program

The Tufts Laidlaw Scholars Leadership & Research Program is an 18-month program developing leadership skills through hands-on training, a six-week summer research experience, and a six-week summer immersive service-learning project. As scholars, undergraduate students receive two summers of funding to support these efforts. One of these summer experiences is typically completed abroad.

Throughout the program, Laidlaw Scholars participate in activities to promote their development as leaders, including workshops, trainings, and other informal mentoring opportunities. Following completion of the program, scholars will receive a transcript notation identifying them as a Laidlaw Scholar, as well as sustain membership as part of the global Laidlaw community.

The program is made possible by the generous funding of Lord Irvine Laidlaw of Rothiemay through the Laidlaw Foundation.
