The Martin Luther King, Jr. Scholars Program at NYU

“In your life’s blueprint... However young you are…You have a responsibility to seek to make life better for everybody. And so you must be involved in the struggle of freedom and justice.”- The Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. (1967)

NYU’s MLK Scholars are members of an all-university honors program dedicated to the legacy of the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. The program engages, educates, and empowers students around notions of social justice for building beloved community. Centered around an immersive, cohort-based learning community, this honors program offers a rich combination of faculty engagement, travel colloquia, undergraduate research, and service-learning. As a distinctive community of students and alumni, the MLK Scholars Program has developed some of NYU's best and brightest thought leaders for over 30 years.
