President’s Day Presidential Scholarships
Monday, February 18th by Terreece M. ClarkeI see you, even though today is a day off for most schools, you’re getting the jump on the other slackers by checking out the scholarship blog. Good job - stay ahead of the pack. While the rest of the student world catches up on sleep and wayward homework, you’re being hipped to some of the great president scholarships!
The University of Texas at Austin President’s Achievement Scholarship
This scholarship is to recognize high schoolers who have overcome adversity while getting top grades. Being able to study while your little sister practices her oboe isn’t quite good enough. They’re looking for adversity, not annoyances :0)
Requirements according to their site:
1. Complete your ApplyTexas Freshman Admission Application for The University of Texas at Austin by February 1 of the Spring semester of your Senior year in high school.
2. Submit your completed ApplyTexas Freshman Scholarship Application by December 1 of the year prior to entering UT Austin to be considered for all Freshman scholarships.
3. Take entrance exams early.

Indiana State University President’s Scholarship
