Trinity Tower Scholarship
ListedCollege program
- Award
- Full fall/spring tuition for up to eight semesters; summer excluded. Recipients cannot receive other Trinity institutional grants or scholarships. Renewal requires full-time enrollment, annual SAP review and at least 3.0 cumulative college GPA; SAP also requires 75% cumulative attempted-credit completion including accepted transfer credits. Aid ends on earlier degree completion.
- Deadline
- Standing admission cutoff November 1 through Early Decision I or Early Action. Invited finalists compete at a spring Trinity Tower Scholars Day; the exact 2027 event date is not published on the award page. No closing timezone is stated; deadlineDate remains unset.
- How to apply
- Submit Trinity admission through Common Application, ApplyTexas or Coalition/SCOIR with personal essay, high-school transcript, teacher evaluation and secondary-school report/counselor recommendation. SAT/ACT are optional. International applicants follow their required school-record, English-proficiency and portal financial-declaration instructions. Apply through Early Decision I or Early Action. No separate form for Scholars Day consideration; top candidates receive invitations and compete at Scholars Day, where faculty select recipients.
- Who can apply
- Entering first-year undergraduates in the top portion of Trinity’s applicant pool invited to Scholars Day. Transfer, continuing and graduate students excluded. Academic selection uses official transcript, unweighted core GPA and course rigor; no numerical initial GPA floor is published. SAT/ACT optional; recipients selected independently of income.
- Good to know
- The official award page states both up to 25 awards in its description and up to 20 in its competition instructions. The full-tuition benefit is supported, but the award count is unresolved. Applicants who compete without winning Tower remain eligible for Murchison. A one-time SAP appeal is available under university policy by August 1.
