The Eugene McDermott Scholars Program is UT Dallas's most selective undergraduate scholarship: a four-year full-ride covering tuition and fees for around 16 to 20 incoming freshmen each year. Eligibility is limited to first-time students entering directly from high school (no gap years or transfer credit) who rank in the top academic tenth of their entering class and have already been offered an Academic Excellence Scholarship. Interested students must first submit the UT Dallas application, then complete a separate McDermott Scholars application once it opens in the fall.
DemographicsRequires admission to University of Texas at Dallas, an Academic Excellence Scholarship offer, and top-tenth class rank; requires a separate McDermott Scholars application, open only to first-time freshmen with no gap year or transfer credit.
