SCHOLARSHIPS
The Office of Admission awards academic scholarships to our highest achieving admitted students. First-year student awards are based primarily on a combination of grades, ACT or SAT score and curriculum rigor. Meeting minimum GPA and test scores does not guarantee scholarship eligibility. For purposes of both admission and scholarship consideration, TCU superscores both the ACT and the SAT. The SAT/ACT is optional in consideration of both admission and scholarship through 2025.
