Selection Process
A diverse selection committee from the TCU community is called on to review applications. Members of the selection committee cannot serve as recommenders for scholarship applicants. Members of the committee judge applications in consideration of the Cognitive and Ethical Capacities for TCU Students issued by the TCU Quality Enhancement Council.

Six finalists are sent to be reviewed by the Chancellor and Provost, who then select the three scholarship recipients.

**Students are eligible to apply only once during their TCU undergraduate education. If you graduate after May 2027, it may be more beneficial to consider applying at a later time. Please use your best judgment to determine when to apply, knowing you may apply only once.

NOTE: Students receiving any type of scholarship or financial aid, including those on a tuition benefit or tuition exchange because they have a family member working at TCU or another university, should contact financial aid before applying to make sure they are eligible. It is the responsibility of the applicant to check their eligibility.
