It provides a full-tuition scholarship to the most academically accomplished students in the applicant pool — typically the top five percent — chosen for rigorous coursework, leadership, and character. Eligible candidates are invited to complete a required essay as part of selection, and recipients must maintain a 3.0 cumulative GPA to keep the award.
