The ASP includes extracurricular intellectual opportunities that expose participating cadets to academic perspectives outside a military context, encourage dialogue with those not normally involved with the profession of arms, and foster interaction with students in similar programs at other institutions. Representative opportunities include participation with the Aspen Institute, St John’s College, the National Collegiate Honors Council, the Western Regional Honors Council, the Rocky Mountain Honors Council, the U.S. Scholars Program Administrators Association, the Mellon Foundation, the State Department Critical Language Scholarship Program, the USAFA Diversity Fellowship Program, the National Character and Leadership Symposium, the Dean’s Summer Research Program, the Cadet Summer Research Program (CSRP), the Academy Assembly, the Institute for National Security Studies, language immersion programs, service-learning projects, and program colloquia. Many ASP graduates have gone on to win national and international scholarships, such as the Rhodes, Marshall, Fulbright, and Truman scholarships.
