Michigan Branch Of Telluride Association
MBTA, also known as Telluride House, is a merit-based residential scholarship committed to establishing a vibrant community supporting our three pillars: self-governance, a stimulating intellectual environment, and a commitment to public service. See below to learn more about each of the three pillars!
Housemembers (all on room and board scholarship at the House) range from freshmen to Ph.D students, and are joined in residence by faculty fellows from widely ranging fields. By living with a commitment to our self-governing community, Telluride House strives to foster both the moral and intellectual growth of its members.
Past winners of the Telluride scholarship include notable figures from a wide range of disciplines including: World Bank President Paul Wolfowitz, U.S. Secretary of Labor Frances Perkins, philosophers Michel Foucault and Francis Fukuyama, postmodern scholar Gayatri Spivak, and several Nobel prize winners including Steven Weinberg, Linus Pauling, and Richard Feynman.
