About the Dean's Scholars Award

The Dean's Scholars Award will be presented annually to 5 first-year College of Health, Education, and Human Services students and includes a renewable merit scholarship valued at half tuition. 

Additional benefits include: 

  • Guidance from a faculty mentor
  • Opportunities for unique learning experiences outside the classroom
  • Exclusive access to events with university administration 

Scholarships awarded through the Presidential and Dean's Scholars programs are renewable and can be awarded for a total of eight semesters. They may be funded in part or in whole through other university scholarships, including the Green and Gold Scholarship, or other institutional aid. Combined institutional aid cannot exceed the cost of tuition. Room, board, and books are not included.  

Academically-accomplished students who apply as first-time students for the following year Fall admission by December 1, will be considered for the Dean's Scholars program. Each of the undergraduate colleges will select five students to serve as Dean's Scholars; in total, 25 students will be selected for the Dean's Scholars program each Fall.
