The Grand Challenge Scholars program has five core components that students must pursue in order to tackle a Grand Challenge. Students must participate in each of the five components, however, their involvement in each component can vary. It is required for students to have in-depth, immersive engagement in at least two of the five components, and medium level engagement in at least two of the five components. The last component may be pursued at a minimum depth. Levels of immersion will be described individually for each component. Overlap amongst the components is valid and recommended to get the most out of the program. See the operational document for more information.
