Residential Scholars Program

The Residential Scholars Program has its roots beginning in the early 2000s and continues today under the guidance of the Study Center’s Directors of Undergraduate Ministries. Composed of students from various Grounds ministries, the Residential Scholars Program exists to foster intentional community for Christian formation—all rooted in the gospel.

Intentional community for Christian formation

Residents celebrate together, mourn together, and work through conflict together. Above all, they belong to each other. Male participants live together at the Study Center, and female students live in the “Yellow House” next door. Through each aspect of the program, residents are encouraged to grow in their knowledge of Scripture and their faith in God. These opportunities include participating in a biblical theology class that explores the overarching story of the Bible, attending lectures hosted by the Study Center, and more.

Annual Resident Rhythms:

  • Back to School Retreat (August)

  • Weekly Thursday Night Dinners and Curriculum Discussions

  • Weekly House Meetings (day/time determined by residents)

  • Bi-Weekly Mentoring Meetings

The 2027-2028 Residential Scholars Program application is open.

Apply

Application deadline is October 4, 2026
