The President’s Scholars program, established in 1979, recognizes the achievements of outstanding freshmen who have demonstrated excellence in academics, leadership and community service. These students receive a full scholarship for up to four years of study, a $750 stipend for textbooks each year and use of a Dell laptop computer.
