- Who can apply
- First-year selection considers exceptional academic performance, leadership, service, and writing. Test scores are not considered in Chancellor’s selection. Transfer candidates require a 3.85 cumulative GPA and 60 transferable hours by enrollment; AP credit does not count toward this minimum, but dual-enrollment credit can.
- Good to know
- Current first-year Chancellor page explicitly dates the Fall 2027 selection event. Its award description confirms tuition; the aid office's older 2026–27 grid includes fees, so fee inclusion for the 2027 offer is unconfirmed. Transfer applicants have a published separate route but its next-cycle cutoff years are not specified.
