Presidential Academic Scholarship
ListedCollege programUp to full tuition
- Award
- Full tuition, for up to eight fall/spring semesters or 120 credits; full-time enrollment, good standing and satisfactory academic progress required.
- Deadline
- General admission is rolling; no Presidential-specific Fall 2027 priority date is published. The catalog gives international fall admission an August 1 deadline without a cycle year.
- How to apply
- Apply for freshman admission; awards are decided at admission by holistic Admissions Committee review. Test-optional applicants must submit an additional essay of at least 500 words with the transcript and recommendation. Presidential candidates receive additional review and may be asked for further documents.
- What you'll need
- No separate application: you are considered when you apply for admission
- Who can apply
- Incoming undergraduate freshmen evaluated by the Admissions Committee without a published Presidential GPA/test floor. Test-optional applicants receive consideration with extra review. A Presidential-specific citizenship restriction is not stated.
- Good to know
- Scholarships cannot stack or combine with tuition waivers/exchange awards, and total gift aid is capped at direct costs. Study abroad is excluded except ISEP tuition exchange. SAP depends on attempted credits: cumulative GPA minimum rises from 1.5 at 24-47 credits to 2.0 at 96+; completion-rate standards and 150% maximum attempted-credit limit also apply.
