I recently got invited to join the Global Communities program, I´m a bit shocked since I was expecting a Scholars or Honors program, I´m not really disappointed since I do not know what this Global Communities program is about (besides what is says on the website) and haven´t hear of it before yesterday. Is this going to affect my eligibility for scholarships? How is this going to affect me academically? Oh, and also how is this program different from the previously mentioned ones? Are we considered as “worse” students than the Scholars and Honors students? Thank you :).
It’s a living learning program - check out their page - click open all the sections https://globalcommunities.umd.edu/landing/For%20Prospective%20Students
And no, it’s not a lesser program, just different.
OP, the only way it should affect potential scholarships is that you won’t be eligible for the Banneker/Key.
