ELIGIBILITY AND SELECTION CRITERIA
1. The Presidential Upper Level Scholarship Program provides financial assistance and special recognition to a limited number of undergraduate students who have been outstanding in their college work. Each Scholarship is valued at twelve hundred dollars, and the award is for one year only. Each of the seven undergraduate Schools will be authorized to choose one student per year for the award.

2. To receive this scholarship, a student must earn 60 or more credits by the time the scholarship is funded (fall term). Thirty of the sixty credits must have been earned at Texas State. The award will go to the next ranked nominee if the recipient does not complete 60 hours by the end of summer school, or if the recipient graduated after completing one semester of work as a scholarship holder.

3. Academic achievement, as shown by grades and other standards expected and defined by departments, will be the principal criteria for the selection of recipients. Breadth of interests and achievements normally will take precedence over narrow pursuits. Leadership in departmental and other activities will be considered important, if they do not detract from academic achievements in classroom-related activities.

4. Students receiving other scholarships funded by Student Service Fees are ineligible for Presidential Upper Level Scholarships unless they elect to forfeit the other(s) for that year. This Scholarship will be awarded no more than once to any student.

5. Students will be given six hundred dollars at each (fall and spring) registration, contingent upon their enrolling for at least 12 hours of course work.

6. Each student who applies will be nominated only by the department of that student's major.

Gwen and Weldon Durrenberger both shared fond memories of their college days and because of this love and his deep love for his wife, Gwen, Weldon made a gift of property to Texas State University. Both Weldon and Gwen had exciting careers in the sciences. Weldon wanted to create a lasting memory for Gwen and at the same time assist students who were pursuing a degree in one of the sciences, technology or engineering. This property gift has been developed into the Gwen S. Durrenberger Endowment for Women in Science.  See the PDF below for more information.
Deadline: March 1, 2008.
