CV NEWS FEED// The University of Dallas announced a competition for five full-tuition scholarships this week, available to high school seniors applying to the university.
According to a press release from UD, the scholarship is known as the “Crusader” scholarship after the school’s mascot. All high school seniors applying to UD by February 14, 2024, are eligible to apply for the scholarship.
“To be eligible, students must finish their UD application and the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA), meet minimum GPA and test score requirements, submit a short essay on why they would make a great Crusader, and participate in a one-hour webinar on Feb. 29 or March 2,” UD stated in the press release.
Director of Undergraduate Admission Carey Christenberry said that the scholarship will help identify students who most “resonate with the UD community.”
“The inaugural Crusader Scholarship Competition was created to identify young men and women who radiate competence, character, creativity, compassion, collaboration and distinction…” Christenberry said.
He continued:
The ideal UD Crusader could be a quiet servant or a bold leader, an athlete or artist, a doer or thinker. He or she could be a poet, scientist, entrepreneur, coder, musician, philosopher, equestrian, musician—or an amalgamation of wide-ranging interests and passions. At his or her core, the ideal Crusader loves truth, seeks wisdom, pursues virtue and strives for a life well-lived.
The school will select five students to receive the scholarship, which will cover their tuition at UD for four years.
A private Catholic liberal arts school, The University of Dallas has consistently ranked as one of the top schools in the country and has also been regularly featured in the Newman Guide for Catholic colleges.
