Presidential Scholarship

Other eligibility requirements

The Presidential Scholarship Program is first and foremost an academic award. Through the Presidential Scholarship selection process among a highly competitive applicant pool, the committee seeks to find academically stellar students of diverse backgrounds and cultures and with varied interests who are engaged in their communities and will make a positive difference during their time at UTulsa and beyond.

Presidential Scholars think deeply, are engaged fully, are willing to pursue what matters to them in an above and beyond way, and understand the commitment to the university’s core values: excellence in scholarship, dedication to free inquiry, integrity of character, and commitment to humanity.

Eligibility Requirements

To be considered for the Presidential Scholarship, applicants must have a superscore of 28 or higher on the ACT* or 1300 or higher on the SAT and meet one or more of the following eligibility requirements:

• College Board Recognition Program scholars who rank in the top 10% of their graduating class (College Board awards honors to high-performing, underrepresented students. Learn more.)
• Rank in the top 5% of their graduating class
• Have a minimum weighted GPA of 4.0 (on a 4.0 scale). Students attending schools that do not provide a weighted GPA will be considered individually.

*If submitting an ACT score, we will accept scores from both the original and redesigned versions of the ACT.
