President's Scholars Scholarship for Undergraduate Students

The President’s Scholars Scholarship awards were established in 1983 through gifts from individual donors who are dedicated to recognizing student achievement and perseverance. Awards each year are based on applicant academic and co-curricular excellence, as well as strength of application essay, and personal interviews. Each of the endowed scholarships is named by its benefactor.

The President’s Scholars scholarships are awarded each year to undergraduate students from each of the University’s eight academic colleges. Recipients are recognized annually by the University President at a special presentation in the fall.
