Upper Class President's Scholars
Each year SMU selects approximately four current students to receive upper-class President’s Scholarships after their sophomore years. The upper-class award recognizes exceptionally strong academic achievement among current students.
To compete, students must have a cumulative GPA of at least a 3.85, have a minimum of 40 SMU credit hours, provide faculty recommendations, and write an essay on a designated topic. They are chosen by a selection committee led by a faculty chair and including one faculty member each from Dedman College, School of Engineering, Meadows School of the Arts, and Cox School of Business.
After interviews with each finalist, the Committee selects
approximately four upper-class President’s Scholars to receive full tuition and
fees, all other benefits of the program, and to be recognized at a spring banquet. The award is given for the junior and senior years or up to four semesters with maintenance of a 3.30 grade point average and conduct in keeping with the University’s values and goals.
