The Grand Challenges Scholars Program at RIT is a learning community of students, alumni, and faculty who are passionate about addressing humanity’s most pressing Grand Challenges and working toward achieving the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals. Grand Challenges Scholars join a global network of students who have met five core competencies (talent, global, multidisciplinary, entrepreneurial, and social) during the course of their undergraduate degrees. Students each chart their own unique path through the competencies, often under the mentorship of faculty, while focusing on particular challenges of interest and prepare themselves with the critical thinking, ethical and technical skills needed to take on Grand Challenges after graduation.
