Falvey Scholars, a collaborative initiative of the Library and the Center for Research and Fellowships, is an annual program that recognizes outstanding undergraduate research at Villanova University. Winners of the Falvey Scholar award are selected from a pool of candidates submitted by a senior Villanova University student or a group of students working on a senior project together with the recommendation of the advisor to the senior thesis or capstone project completed for academic credit.

Falvey Scholars is one of the keynote events of the annual Villanova Spring Research Exposition, a week-long series of events that celebrates the scholarly achievements of Villanova’s researchers and showcases a year’s worth of innovation and creativity.

Digital copies of the winning papers are maintained in Falvey’s Digital Library.
