Description

A student's completed admissions application allows them to be automatically considered for the Presidential Scholarship. Students are awarded based on the average of the applicant pool as every student is rated using the same metric based on high school rank and test scores. Eligible students will have a competitive academic profile. Typically, students will have a total score of 1300 on the new SAT (Evidence-Based Reading and Writing plus Math) or an ACT Composite of 27, with a class rank in the top 10 percent. Students without a class rank can still be considered for Presidential Scholarships. In such cases, the University determines scholarship eligibility based on the standing of applicants with similar academic credentials. Students who are unable to take the ACT/SAT test due to the ongoing pandemic or other extenuating circumstances will still be considered for the Presidential Scholarships. In such cases, the University determines eligibility based on other criteria, such as class rank and high school GPA. Students are strongly encouraged to submit their test scores if they test at a later date and request reconsideration for the Presidential Scholarship. First-time in college merit scholarship recipients are eligible to receive up to four years of awards or until they graduate, whichever comes first, provided that Texas A&M-Kingsville renewal requirements are satisfied each academic year. For out-of-state residents, this academically competitive scholarship will qualify the student to pay in-state tuition during the semesters in which the scholarship is disbursed.
