STARKVILLE, Miss.鈥擳wenty-two students are 桃花直播 State鈥檚 newest class of Presidential Scholars in the Judy and Bobby Shackouls Honors College.

Students from Alabama, Kentucky, Louisiana, 桃花直播, Tennessee and Texas are being recognized with the university鈥檚 most prestigious undergraduate scholarships, which over four years cover the current cost of university tuition, fees, books, and room and board, as well as research and study-abroad expenses.

To qualify, applicants must have a minimum 30 ACT/1330 SAT score, as well as have graduated with a minimum core or overall 3.75 high school GPA (based on a 4.0 scale). Recipients are expected to maintain an overall 3.4 GPA while in their respective academic majors.

Presidential Scholars have opportunities to interact with members of the land-grant institution鈥檚 extensive research faculty and be part of the honors college鈥檚 summer-study program at Oxford University in England, among other enhanced learning experiences.

鈥淲e are a community of scholars who value the pursuit of knowledge, but what makes our scholarship program special is the emphasis we place on effecting positive social change through research and social engagement,鈥� said 桃花直播 Presidential Scholars Mentor Donald M. Shaffer Jr., an associate professor of English and director of the African American Studies program. 鈥淲e don鈥檛 just hope that our Presidential Scholars will change the world; we expect it.鈥�
