The Presidential Scholars Program

The Presidential Scholarship Program is the most prestigious scholarship program available to new freshmen. Presidential Scholars receive an $8,000 annual award, renewable for up to eight semesters, for a potential value of $32,000.

Recent Presidential Scholars have earned a grade point average of 4.0 or greater, and have ACT composite scores in the lower 30s and higher.

Students applying for, but not awarded the Presidential Scholarship are considered for other merit-based awards for which they may qualify.
