2025-2026 UNT Dallas Presidential Scholars Program Recommendation Form
 

The Presidential Scholars program seeks to admit a group of enthusiastic and talented students from various high schools. While the Presidential Scholars Program values high academic achievement, it is also important that Presidential Scholars are well-rounded individuals who are dedicated to serving their campus and community. The Presidential Scholars selection committee holistically evaluates applicants and takes into consideration a combination of GPA, test scores, high school and community involvement, strength of essays, and strength of recommendation forms when making selections. 

Students accepted into the Presidential Scholars Program receive a scholarship for up to $66,800.00 over the four years. They participate in leadership development experiences, community service initiatives and campus programming, in addition to also serving as the President's ambassadors for the university. The Presidential Scholarship is the most prestigious, merit-based freshman scholarship. 
 
Thank you for taking the time to provide a reference in support of your student's scholarship application. Your insights will help the selection committee understand why this student is an ideal candidate for this prestigious opportunity. This recommendation should come from a teacher, counselor, principal, coach, employer, mentor, or other individual who is not related to the student. It should not be completed by a parent/guardian or family member.

 

Please complete the following questionnaire with as much detail as possible by 4/11/25 at 11:59pm. Please note that if you fail to complete the questionnaire by the deadline above, the student's application will not be considered complete.
