Chancellor’s Scholars Program
The Chancellor’s Scholars Program rewards the most accomplished and talented potential Horned Frogs for their remarkable achievements and hard work. The program supports and challenges these leaders to be productive citizens and leaders in the community. Chancellor’s Scholars are among the best and brightest students on campus.
The highly competitive program, which includes multiple rounds of committee review and on-campus interviews, provides full-tuition academic scholarships to approximately 40 first-year and 5 transfer students in each incoming fall class.
In addition to substantial financial support, Chancellor’s Scholars also receive special opportunities to interact with the Chancellor, TCU faculty and staff and their peers at events throughout the academic year.
Programming and support for the Chancellor’s Scholars are provided through the Office of the Chancellor. The Program is managed in partnership with the Office of Admission, the Office of Scholarships and Student Financial Aid, and the John V. Roach Honors College.
