- Who can apply
- First-year academic merit is based on academic achievement; the typical 3.8 recalculated unweighted GPA is a recipient profile, not a guaranteed threshold. Roddy recipients must reside in the U.S. and plan the specified graduate professional study. Separate fine arts, service-major, Cristo Rey, and transfer programs have different rules.
