High Point University

Presidential Scholars Program

The Presidential Scholars Program recognizes incoming freshmen that demonstrate outstanding achievement, good citizenship, strong leadership and exceptional scholarship during high school. Through interviews and events, students receive the opportunity to gain additional fellowships and scholarships. Top scholar candidates will be invited to increase their initial scholarship amount by interviewing on campus during three separate weekends in January and February. Presidential Scholarships are awarded at four different levels and are renewable over four years, as long as renewal GPA requirements are met. The program includes Presidential Founders Scholarship ($40,000-Full Tuition), Presidential Fellowships ($12,000-$20,000), Presidential Scholarships ($10,000-$17,000), and High Point Scholarships ($5,000-$10,000 per year). The undergraduate admissions application serves as the Presidential Scholars application with no separate application required.
