You can apply for one position, or all four! Check out the application on the Mentor Institute WaveSync page for more details about each position. The application is open now and will close on Monday, March 10th. We hope you apply!

Are you looking to join a vibrant community of peers who share your commitment to academic excellence and discovery? Are you looking to build meaningful connections with faculty beyond the classroom? 

If so, you may be interested in our College Scholars program. The 2025-26 application is open now through Monday, February 17th.

Interested first-year students must have a cumulative GPA of 3.4 or above in the Fall 2024 semester to be considered for admission.

Want to make change on campus? Interested in student government? If so, the Tulane Undergraduate Assembly (TUA) might be for you! TUA acts as the student governing body on campus and is made up of students who are passionate about creating a more inclusive undergraduate community.
