<p>McKelvy House Scholars
Each year 20 students of high ability and promise are invited to reside together at McKelvy House, a residence four blocks from the campus reserved for participants in the McKelvy House Scholars Program. The program was established to recognize and encourage academic excellence, to stimulate exceptional students to work at their own pace, and to facilitate exchange of ideas and information among students with different interests and in different disciplines. Admission is competitive and requires nomination by a faculty member. </p>
<p>I don’t believe that it is a requirement.
