Requirements

Century Scholars must meet two types of program requirements each year:

  1. Academic requirements
  2. Participation requirements

Academic requirements are tracked by the office of Scholarships & Financial Aid. All Century Scholars must:

  • Have and maintain at least a 2.75 GPR
  • Meet the 30-60-90 rule
  • Be enrolled in at least 12 credit hours each semester
  • Email scholarships@tamu.edu with questions regarding CSP academic requirements

Any student who falls below a cumulative 2.25 GPR will be required to meet monthly with a Century Scholars Staff Advisor.

Participation requirements are tracked by Century Scholars Program Staff through the LAUNCH office. These requirements vary by classification (i.e., Freshmen, Sophomore, etc.).
