My name is Jeremy Doran and I am an at-large representative from the Senate of College Councils. Every year, our committee, Recruitment and Retention, gives out two $500 scholarships to two hardworking students who have shown significant improvement in their academics. Students who are qualified for this are those who have attended at least 2 semesters at UT and could be a sophomore, junior, or senior. The student must have had at least a 2.75 GPA two semesters ago and have improved significantly the next semester (GPA-wise). We also look at how the students utilized campus resources to help them improve their GPA. The due date of the application is Wednesday, March 2nd at 11:59pm.
