Tier One Scholarship Program

The UH Tier One Scholarship program is a distinguished, high-profile award program intended to attract highly qualified students to the University of Houston. President Renu Khator created the program using dollar-for-dollar donations to match a generous $7 million anonymous gift, with the intention of attracting top-tier students to the university. These scholarships are awarded to first-time-in-college freshmen and will cover tuition and mandatory fees for up to five years of undergraduate study at the University of Houston. Selection for the Tier One Scholarship Program will be based on merit and consideration of students’ need for financial assistance.

UH Tier One Scholars will also receive stipends for undergraduate research and for study-abroad programs.
