Ever heard of a national merit scholarship? Do you know how it can propel you to be a cultural ambassador, contribute to national interests, and achieve your academic and international travel goals? Wondering what minimum GPA or major you need to be a viable candidate? Or how you can make yourself stand out as the extraordinary candidate you are?
Join us for the National Achievement Scholarship informational session. We'll discuss how you can work with the UGR and merit scholarship committee and start planning now to craft competitive applications. We'll go over several major awards, including the Fulbright, Boren, Goldwater, Udall, and others that you can apply for—no matter your major!
We'll have snacks, gift cards, door prizes, and attendance vouchers on site! Learn about how you can win thousands of dollars to support your education, global interests, and international travel goals.
