Our honorary Global Ambassador Scholarship program recognizes international students who exemplify the Volunteer spirit and have an excellent academic record based on their UT Converted and Weighted GPA.
Incoming first-year international students (non-resident visa holder who will not graduate from a US high school) with a minimum 3.0 GPA* who apply for admission during their final year in high school will be considered for this competitive scholarship. You must matriculate the fall semester immediately following your high school graduation. Students who are selected for this scholarship will be able to represent UT as a Global Ambassador and carry out Volunteer activities orchestrated through UT’s International Recruitment. All eligible students that meet the GPA requirement will receive an invitation with a separate application for the Global Ambassador Scholarship. Applicants who apply after May 1, 2024 will not be considered for this scholarship.
In order to keep the Global Ambassador Scholarship, you’re required to:
- Maintain a 3.0 cumulative grade point average (GPA) and good academic standing
- Maintain full-time enrollment throughout each semester
- Commit to being a UT Global Ambassador and adhere to the program requirements
