Eligibility Requirements
- The Tier One Scholarship online application (application opens Aug 1)
- The application for admission to the University of Houston
- Letter of Recommendation*
*A letter of recommendation must be uploaded directly by the recommender. Your recommender will be contacted with instructions to submit the recommendation. Your recommender should know you well (high school teacher, school administrator, club advisor, etc.). The scholarship applicant is responsible for ensuring that the recommendation letter is submitted on time.
As in previous years, if you have a 1400 SAT or 30 ACT composite score and rank in the top 10% of your class, you'll improve your chances of qualifying for this scholarship. Test optional candidates are considered.
Top-scoring applicants will be invited to participate in a mandatory on-campus interview during the Tier One Invitational. Applicants who have been selected to participate in the on-campus interviews will be notified by December 15, 2024.
See the Frequently Asked Questions for more information about the Tier One selection process.
