We strive听to provide as many opportunities as possible for students to develop personally, creatively, academically and professionally.

Norlin Scholars can develop leadership and professional skills as UEP Office Assistants.听Office Assistants are student employees who perform tasks crucial to UEP鈥檚 functioning, including event planning, updating social media and communications, and more. They are hired, supervised and evaluated by the UEP Office Manager.听They听gain office skills,听learn what it means to work in a higher education context, and work听in collaboration with the Office Manager and Director of UEP.

When available, Norlin Scholars program can provide additional funding for special academic or professional activities or projects. If funds are available, students will receive an email indicating that is the case. It's a good idea to track all of your extra-curricular involvement within the community so that you can make a case for funding.听You will find the guidelines here.

The University of Colorado Law School has an agreement with UEP听to provide law school networking events. To encourage and aid in the application process for Norlin Scholars, the Law School will do the following:

  • Provide an application fee waiver to each interested applicant, for a $65 savings. Applicants should contact the admissions office at听lawadmin@colorado.edu听to request a fee waiver prior to submitting their application.
  • Guarantee automatic admission for any scholar applicant with at least a score of 164 on the LSAT and a cumulative GPA of at least 3.5. An automatic two-year deferral is available for anyone who is admitted to the Law School and then participates in either the Peace Corps or Teach for America.
  • Offer a special information session for scholars at the Law School to introduce these students to our community and give them the opportunity to talk with Law School faculty, students, and administrators.
  • Invite interested scholars to attend special events at the Law School throughout the school year, including special speakers and conferences.
