The HRLR Undergraduate Scholars Program provides exceptional students in the Human Resources & Labor Relations major with opportunities for educational and professional development. This select group of students chosen in the spring semester of each year will have enhanced access to internships, research and service learning opportunities, as well as professional development activities throughout the academic year. These opportunities will supplement the research opportunities and career-preparation workshops which will be available to all undergraduate students.
Students who have declared their major as Human Resources & Labor Relations in the School of Human Resources & Labor Relations with at least a sophomore status can apply for the HRLR Undergraduate Scholars program. In selecting among eligible students, consideration will be given to overall academic performance as evidenced by:
Any student who has completed at least 36 credit hours with a minimum overall GPA of 3.0 or higher may apply. Consideration of additional factors will influence selection, including GPA in the HRLR major, academic research experience, work experience (particularly while enrolled at MSU and in related fields such as human resources, administrative positions in a business-related or non-profit organization), leadership in student and community organizations, contributions to a diverse educational community, first generation college students, and a record of overcoming obstacles.
Selection as a scholar carries an expectation of various professional development events and maintenance of communication with the scholars’ coordinator.
Students who fail to meet participation expectations, engage in unethical behavior or do not remain in good academic standing will be subject to removal from the program. Selection will be conducted by a subcommittee of the HRLR undergraduate committee.
We will be accepting applications for 2024 in fall 2024.
