The Telluride House, formally the Cornell Branch of the Telluride Association (CBTA),[3] and commonly referred to as just "Telluride",[4] is a highly selective residential community of Cornell University students and faculty. Founded in 1910 by American industrialist L. L. Nunn, the house grants room and board scholarships to a number of undergraduate and graduate students, post-doctoral researchers and faculty members affiliated with the university's various colleges and programs.[5] A fully residential intellectual society, the Telluride House takes as its pillars democratic self-governance, communal living and intellectual inquiry.[3][6] Students granted the house's scholarship are known as Telluride Scholars.
The Telluride House is considered the first program of the educational non-profit Telluride Association, which was founded a year after the house was built and was first led by the Smithsonian Institution’s fourth Secretary Charles Doolittle Walcott.[7] Nunn went on to found Deep Springs College in 1917. The Telluride Association founded and maintained other branches thereafter, two of which—at Cornell University and at the University of Michigan—are still active.[8] The Association also runs free selective programs for high school students, including the Telluride Association Summer Program.
In its more than a century of operation, the house's membership has included some of Cornell's most notable alumni and faculty members. Located in the university's West Campus, the Telluride House is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.[9][10]
